There are several casting operators specific to the C++ language.
These operators are intended to remove some of the ambiguity and danger inherent in old style C language casts.
These operators are:
-
dynamic_cast Used for conversion of polymorphic types.
-
static_cast Used for conversion of nonpolymorphic types.
-
const_cast Used to remove the const, volatile, and __unaligned attributes.
-
reinterpret_cast Used for simple reinterpretation of bits.
-
safe_cast Used to produce verifiable MSIL.
Use const_cast and reinterpret_cast as a last resort, since these operators present the same dangers as old style casts. However, they are still necessary in order to completely replace old style casts.
const_cast
const int a = 10;
const int* const_p = &a;
//int* pb = const_cast<int*>(&a); //其实这两行用什么方式转换指针似乎不重要
int* pb = (int*)(&a);
*pb = 11;
cout<<&a<<"\t\t"<<a<<endl;
cout<<const_p<<"\t\t"<<*const_p<<endl;
cout<<pb<<"\t\t"<<*pb<<endl;
结果:
0012FF60 10
0012FF60 11
0012FF60 11
