+ The `cir.dyn_cast` operation models part of the semantics of the
+ `dynamic_cast` operator in C++. It can be used to perform 3 kinds of casts
+ on record pointers:
+
+ - Down-cast, which casts a base class pointer to a derived class pointer;
+ - Side-cast, which casts a class pointer to a sibling class pointer;
+ - Cast-to-complete, which casts a class pointer to a void pointer.
+
+ The input of the operation must be a record pointer. The result of the
+ operation is either a record pointer or a void pointer.
+
+ The parameter `kind` specifies the semantics of this operation. If its value
+ is `ptr`, then the operation models dynamic casts on pointers. Otherwise, if
+ its value is `ref`, the operation models dynamic casts on references.
+ Specifically:
+
+ - When the input pointer is a null pointer value:
+ - If `kind` is `ref`, the operation will invoke undefined behavior. A
+ sanitizer check will be emitted if sanitizer is on.
+ - Otherwise, the operation will return a null pointer value as its result.
+ - When the runtime type check fails:
+ - If `kind` is `ref`, the operation will throw a `bad_cast` exception.
+ - Otherwise, the operation will return a null pointer value as its result.
+
+ The `info` argument gives detailed information about the requested dynamic
+ cast operation. It is an optional `#cir.dyn_cast_info` attribute that is
+ only present when the operation models a down-cast or a side-cast.
+
+ The `relative_layout` argument specifies whether the Itanium C++ ABI vtable
+ uses relative layout. It is only meaningful when the operation models a
+ cast-to-complete operation.
+
+ Examples:
+
+ ```mlir
+ %0 = cir.dyn_cast ptr %p : !cir.ptr<!rec_Base> -> !cir.ptr<!rec_Derived>
+ %1 = cir.dyn_cast ptr relative_layout %p : !cir.ptr<!rec_Base>
+ -> !cir.ptr<!rec_Derived>
+ %2 = cir.dyn_cast ref %r : !cir.ptr<!rec_Base> -> !cir.ptr<!rec_Derived>
+ #cir.dyn_cast_info<
+ #cir.global_view<@_ZTI4Base> : !cir.ptr<!u8i>,
+ #cir.global_view<@_ZTI7Derived> : !cir.ptr<!u8i>,
+ @__dynamic_cast,
+ @__cxa_bad_cast,
+ #cir.int<0> : !s64i

Could we prefix the members of `#cir.dyn_cast_info` with their names? So it could be more readable like:
```
#cir.dyn_cast_info<
srcRtti = #cir.global_view<@_ZTI4Base> : !cir.ptr<!u8i>,
destRtti = #cir.global_view<@_ZTI7Derived> : !cir.ptr<!u8i>,
runtimeFunc = @__dynamic_cast,
badCastFunc = @__cxa_bad_cast,
offsetHint = #cir.int<0> : !s64i
