Heap-Free Polymorphic Driver

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Driver {
public:
    virtual void startTransfer() = 0;
    virtual ~Driver() {}
};

class SpiDriver : public Driver {
public:
    void startTransfer() {
        cout << "SPI transfer started" << endl;
    }
};

class I2cDriver : public Driver {
public:
    void startTransfer() {
        cout << "I2C transfer started" << endl;
    }
};

int main() {
    int mode;
    cin >> mode;

    SpiDriver spi;
    I2cDriver i2c;

    // TODO:
    // Select the correct driver WITHOUT using dynamic allocation
    // Call startTransfer() polymorphically
    Driver& driver = (mode==0) ? static_cast<Driver&>(spi) : static_cast<Driver&>(i2c);

    driver.startTransfer();

    return 0;
}
