Compiler says it cannot convert B** into A**. What am I doing wrong?
Nothing. There is no conversion between those. Classes are related.
You are hence allowed to convert between pointers to those classes. Bu=
t
pointers to those classes are not related, so conversion between
pointers to pointer to those classes does not exist.
What are you trying to accomplish? What does your _real_ 'f' do with
the pointers?

I want to perform an action on each element of array, polymorphically
(e.g. call virtual function, that was declared in class A). Should I
just use vector<A*> instead?
