Hi,
this patch series implements a couple of ID3D10EffectVariable::As*()
functions (patches 2-11).
Do we have any tests for the As* behavior?
Most conversions don't make any sense, so if the app wants a constant
buffer as a render target view returning a null obj is probably a
sane thing. But ::AsString potentially makes sense for all objects,
maybe in a similar way Object::ToString is used to obtain a String for
debug output in Java.
This is a rather odd looking API - it actually looks a lot more like C#
"as" operator than Java.ToString().
That's basically a safe cast, which returns NULL if the object is not of
the type you're trying to cast.
...except that in C# it's a language operator that works on any pointer
type.
