c++ - How to pass address of BOOL to a method accepting address of VARIANT

i have method takes parameter of variant_bool pointer

stdmethod(get_test)(variant_bool* result)

i have bool test variable want pass method. has bool , not variant_bool.

bool test;

is there way pass address of bool in place of address of variant_bool? tried

get_test( &((variant_bool)test));

but did not work.

those types have different sizes , use different values true. cast work if initialize value upper word zero. don't , instead:

variant_bool temp; hresult hr = get_test(&temp); if (succeeded(hr)) {     bool test = temp != variant_false;     // etc... }
