You will probably find that Qt doesn't have much to say about them because
they are part of the C++ language.
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/dynamic_cast
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/reinterpret_cast
...and, since you're looking at casting, you should probably know about
const_cast and static_cast as well:
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/const_cast
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/static_cast
