Hi,
The following program demonstrates an attempt to circumvent the const
specifier:
----------------------------------------
void foo ( const int *f ) {
int *foo = f;
*foo = 100; // defeat const!
}
main () {
int foobar;
int *bar = &foobar;
foo ( bar );
}
----------------------------------------
g++ doesn't complain about this, whereas CC retorts:
----------------------------------------
CC test.C:
"test.C", line 6: error: bad initializer type const int * for foo ( int * expected)
1 error
----------------------------------------
This seems like a reasonable approach, no?
Doug
