const type;

[Bo Hunter]

Is it possible to find out if a type was declared const? Thank You Bo Hunter

constness is a compile time hint.

const int tata = 5;
...
tata = 4; // you will get a compile error.

If you mean "writing generic code which knows whether a given type is const or not" you can have something like that:

template <class T>
my_generic_class
{
};

// specialization for const types
template<class T>
my_generic_class<const T>
{
// implementation taking into account the type is const
}

Other than that, Boost.TypeTraits[^] features an utility called is_const which determines at compile time the constness of a type. I'm not sure if tihs is what you're after. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo Want a Boost forum in Code Project? Vote here[^]!
