Hi,
Here is another case of const perversion that g++ should probably
complain about:
----------------------------------------
#include <stream.h>
int * Foo ( const int *p ) {
return ( p ); // attempt to circumvent the const qualifier
}
main (int, char *argv[]) {
int i = atoi ( argv [ 1 ] );
const int *p = &i;
*( Foo ( p ) ) = 10;
cout << *p << "\n";
}
----------------------------------------
cfront 1.2.1 prints out:
----------------------------------------
CC test.C:
"test.C", line 4: error: bad return value type for Foo(): const int * ( int * expected)
1 error
----------------------------------------
Doug
