Found it.

I had:

Code:

    Model * model = (Model *) model;

instead of

Code:

    Model * model = (Model *) _model;

Not sure how this compiles, but

Code:

    Model * wibble = (Model *) wibble;

also compiles, and wibble definitely doesn't exist anywhere else in my code.

I think the best thing for me to do is to rework my variable naming to make this less likely to happen again.

Edit:

Code:

    Model * wobble = wobble;

also compiles, so I assume there's part of the language standard I don't understand.
