c++ - Using different arguments for different functions -

i have class several different subclasses , i'm using virtual bool update of them std::list. i'm wondering, though, if can utilize different arguments separate bools, subclasses behave differently , don't want accommodate of them providing useless data.

for (std::list<gameobject*>::iterator = renderobjects.begin(); != renderobjects.end(); ++it) { if(!(*it)->update(arguments)){cout<<"error";} }

is there way can rewrite code update() function given arguments needs specific subclass it's beingness called with?

this hosts valuable info help you: http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/general/50090/

the gist want dynamic_cast , check if successful or not.

a simpler alternative add together string classid every class or subclass defines is. check classid string.

if (fooobj.classid == "fooclass") { // }
