## [template<class Base, class Derived>](#template_class_Base,_class_Derived_)

struct cereal::detail::RegisterPolymorphicCaster< Base, Derived >"Registers a polymorphic casting relation between a Base and Derived type.

Forward declaration, see **polymorphic\_impl.hpp** for more information.

Registering a relation allows cereal to properly cast between the two types given runtime type information and void pointers.

Registration happens automatically via **cereal::base\_class** and **cereal::virtual\_base\_class** instantiations. For cases where neither is called, see the CEREAL\_REGISTER\_POLYMORPHIC\_RELATION macro

## [template<class Base, class Derived> **PolymorphicCaster** const * **cereal::detail::RegisterPolymorphicCaster**< Base, Derived >::bind () \[inline\], \[static\]](#template_class_Base,_class_Derived__)

Performs registration (binding) between Base and Derived. If the type is not polymorphic, nothing will happen
