Why does this compile? Even though the signature is different?
class A { void f(const int a); };
void A::f(int a) {} //compiles fine
I've also tried other signature types, and got mixed results:
//Doesn't Compile:
class A { void f(const int* a); };
void A::f(int* a) {}
class B { void f(const int& a); };
void B::f(int& a) {}
//Compiles:
class C { void f(int* const a); };
void C::f(int* a) {}
class D { void f(int& const a); };
void D::f(int& a) {}
Why ?
Where in the C++ specs/standard is it written that the const doesn't matter in these cases?
I've checked on both Visual Studio and GCC.
