Converting derived classes #70

Closed ecorm closed 9 years ago

ecorm commented 9 years ago

Add provisions for converting to/from derived classes. Boost.Serialization has a boost::serialization::base_object cast operation, so we might need something similar as well.

Also add an example of converting derived classes in the tutorial.

It turns out that Boost.Serialization needs to handle base classes in a special way because of object tracking. The object tracking feature does not apply to CppWAMP, so there's no need to handle base classes in a special way.

There should still be a test cast and an example covering the conversion of derived classes.
