"transformation" is not correct and should not be attempted?

NB: my question is on the conversion of the pointer of pointer. I.e. is this line correct ?

Код: Выделить всё

Parent** ptrToChildPtr = reinterpret_cast(&childPtr);

I know that the pointer deletion could be done in a much simpler way. I just want to show here the conversion I want to perform if such conversion is possible.

Many thanks in advance

I have two classes a [code]Parent[/code] class and a [code]Child[/code] class (inheriting from the [code]Parent[/code] class) I would like to know if it is possible to cast/transform a [code]Child**[/code] to a  [code]Parent**[/code] with [code]reinterpret_cast[/code] or something else? Or such thing is not possible
 
Below is a minimal example. I am wondering is that code correct or [code]Child**[/code] to a  [code]Parent**[/code] "transformation" is not correct and should not be attempted?
