Template neglects const (why?)
- by Gabriel
Does somebody know, why this compiles??
template< typename TBufferTypeFront, typename TBufferTypeBack = TBufferTypeFront>
class FrontBackBuffer{
public:
FrontBackBuffer(
const TBufferTypeFront front,
const TBufferTypeBack back): ////const reference assigned to reference???
m_Front(front),
m_Back(back)
{
};
~FrontBackBuffer()
{};
TBufferTypeFront m_Front; ///< The front buffer
TBufferTypeBack m_Back; ///< The back buffer
};
int main(){
int b;
int a;
FrontBackBuffer<int&,int&> buffer(a,b); //
buffer.m_Back = 33;
buffer.m_Front = 55;
}
I compile with GCC 4.4. Why does it even let me compile this? Shouldn't there be an error that I cannot assign a const reference to a non-const reference?
