+TYPE safe_as_a <TYPE> (pointer)

TYPE dyn_cast <TYPE> (pointer)
Converts pointer to TYPE if and only if "is_a <TYPE> pointer". Otherwise,
Note that we have converted two sets of assertions in the calls to varpool
into safe and efficient use of a variable.
+TYPE safe_dyn_cast <TYPE> (pointer)
+
+ Like dyn_cast <TYPE> (pointer), except that it accepts null pointers
+ and returns null results for them.
+
If you use these functions and get a 'inline function not defined' or a
'missing symbol' error message for 'is_a_helper<....>::test', it means that
return is_a_helper <T>::cast (p);
