class type casting

[stmfc]

in java, class types do not allow casting.
to convert one to other, there must be special methods (except inheritance)
does c++ allow class type casting? (except inheritance)

Yes C++ does.
You have to use operator oveloading.

It does. But only to support calling relic C functions and perhaps file I/O. If you have to do this for other reasons your C++ design is probably screwed up.

Remember, after any cast the type safety of your program has been compromised.
