 Indeed, this extra "template" before "is" made it work.
Why is this needed in the present case?
 Normally a templated member function can be called without it.

Thanks!

Greetings,

Is the .is() member function of CGAL::Object still existing?

It is listed here:
http://www.cgal.org/Manual/latest/doc_html/cgal_manual/STL_Extension_ref/Class_Object.html#Cross_link_anchor_1811


If it try to call it I get this strange compilation error :

error: expected primary-_expression_ before ‘>’ token
error: expected primary-_expression_ before ‘)’ token

I looked in the header file of CGAL::Object and Handle_for_virtual but
it doesn't seem listed there.

Is there another way to get this boolean out without trying a
CGAL::assign?

Hi Costas,

Are you using a recent enough version of CGAL ?

If you are in a template context, your compiler may require you
to call it as "obj.template is<T>()".

Hi Costas,

and instead of assign you should use object_cast

best,

andreas
