const int * const myfunction () const

[michaelh20]

Isn't const a freaky kind of thing?

(Learning c++ from book)

huh?

 

[michaelh20]

const int * const means returning a pointer to an int where
(1) The pointer can't be changed to point at a different int
(2) The data of the pointer can't be changed.


The () const means that the function doesn't change anything in an object (if it's part of an object).


I was just learning all the different meanings.....

You need help.. a different kind of help.

And then there's static_cast<>(); dynamic_cast<>(), const_cast<>() -- more strange things....
