+// of the C++ standard). As a result, gcc fails to reject the
+// following code with the simple definition:
+//
+// int foo;
+// GTEST_COMPILE_ASSERT_(foo, msg); // not supposed to compile as foo is
+// // not a compile-time constant.
+//
+// - By using the type CompileAssert<(bool(expr))>, we ensures that
+// expr is a compile-time constant. (Template arguments must be
+// determined at compile-time.)
+//
+// - The outter parentheses in CompileAssert<(bool(expr))> are necessary
+// to work around a bug in gcc 3.4.4 and 4.0.1. If we had written
+//
+// CompileAssert<bool(expr)>

+// Use implicit_cast as a safe version of static_cast for upcasting in
+// the type hierarchy (e.g. casting a Foo* to a SuperclassOfFoo* or a
+// const Foo*). When you use implicit_cast, the compiler checks that
+// the cast is safe. Such explicit implicit_casts are necessary in
+// surprisingly many situations where C++ demands an exact type match
+// instead of an argument type convertable to a target type.
+//
+// The syntax for using implicit_cast is the same as for static_cast:
+//
+// implicit_cast<ToType>(expr)
+//
+// implicit_cast would have been part of the C++ standard library,
+// but the proposal was submitted too late. It will probably make
+// its way into the language in the future.

+// When you upcast (that is, cast a pointer from type Foo to type
+// SuperclassOfFoo), it's fine to use implicit_cast<>, since upcasts
+// always succeed. When you downcast (that is, cast a pointer from
+// type Foo to type SubclassOfFoo), static_cast<> isn't safe, because
+// how do you know the pointer is really of type SubclassOfFoo? It
+// could be a bare Foo, or of type DifferentSubclassOfFoo. Thus,
+// when you downcast, you should use this macro. In debug mode, we
+// use dynamic_cast<> to double-check the downcast is legal (we die
+// if it's not). In normal mode, we do the efficient static_cast<>
+// instead. Thus, it's important to test in debug mode to make sure
+// the cast is legal!
+// This is the only place in the code we should use dynamic_cast<>.
+// In particular, you SHOULDN'T be using dynamic_cast<> in order to
+// do RTTI (eg code like this:
+// if (dynamic_cast<Subclass1>(foo)) HandleASubclass1Object(foo);
+// if (dynamic_cast<Subclass2>(foo)) HandleASubclass2Object(foo);
