`MKV_IS_ID` is a macro to check whether the object hiding behind a pointer has a certain dynamic type and it is being used all over the module. There are however a lot of cases that is followed by a static_cast to the appropriate type; `MKV_CHECKED_PTR_DECL` has been introduced to shorten code that has such usage.

INSTALL
INSTALL file for the VLC media player
=====================================
More extensive information for *nix, Windows and Mac OS X users can be
found here: http://wiki.videolan.org/Compile_VLC
People installing VLC for Windows from source MUST read:
http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile
Bootstrapping VLC
=================
If you retrieved VLC from the git server and do not have yet a "configure"
script, please run:
./bootstrap
Configuring VLC
===============
A typical way to configure VLC is:
./configure
See `./configure --help' for more information.
If you intend to debug stuff, you may want to compile with debugging
symbols:
make distclean ; ./configure --enable-debug
We recommend using GCC to build VLC, though some people reported success
with the Intel C compiler (version 8) as well. GCC version 3.3 or higher is
required. On older systems (e.g. FreeBSD 4.x), please select a more recent
version manually by setting the CC and CXX environment variables
appropriately while running the ./configure shell script.
Building VLC
============
Once configured, run `make' to build VLC.
Installing and running VLC
==========================
You can install the VLC and its plugins by typing:
make install
But you don't need to install it if you don't want to; VLC can be launched
from the current directory as well:
./vlc
Building packages
=================
To build a Debian package, you need to get the packaging info
git clone git://git.debian.org/pkg-multimedia/vlc.git debian
and then
git-buildpackage
