const-cast

Hi,

As a common rule, it is very often considered a bad practice to use const_cast<>() in C++ code as it reveals (most of the time) a flaw in the design.

While I totally agree with this, I however wonder what are the cases were using const_cast<>() is ok and the only solution.

Could you guys please give me some examples you know/you encountered ?

Thank you very much.
