In the following code 'const VR' in declaration of the return value of 'kk'
works as just 'VR', without constness.
In arguments 'const VR' is applied as const.
---- code example ----
typedef int X;
struct S {
typedef X& VR; // <--- VR is declared as X by-reference
X x;
// uncomment one of these two lines:
const VR kk(VR) const { return (x); } // <--- bug: first 'const' is
ignored and function is defined as returning *not* const causing compiler error
message
// const X& kk(VR) const { return (x); } // <--- ok: function is defined as
returning const by-reference
};
void f() {
typedef S::VR VR;
const X& (S::*fn)(VR) const; // <---: ask for the function returning
by-reference
fn = &S::kk; // <--- error message here
}
