[kdev 4] isn't this dangerous?

[Jens Herden]

Hi,

I found this code in lib/interfaces/iplugin.cpp:


IPlugin::IPlugin( const KComponentData &instance, QObject *parent )
        : QObject( parent ),
        KXMLGUIClient(), d( new IPluginPrivate )
{
    d->core = static_cast<KDevelop::ICore*>(parent);
    setComponentData( instance );
}


and I wonder why we need the static_cast here. I think it would be saver to 
change the constructer to receive a KDevelop::ICore* instead of a QParent*

Or is there a reason why we can not do this?

Jens
