Re: Auto keyword with const variable

[bearophile]

Alex H:

void test(const int n)
{
        auto j = n;
        j++;
}
Gives this error:
cannot modify const expression j


Is this considered a feature or a bug? I would assume most 
people wouldn't want new variables inheriting const.

It's a bit annoying. I don't remember people discussing this 
small problem. I don't know if it's easy to "fix" it and what 
side effects such change could cause.
