c++中const用法总结（Summary of const usage in c++） Summary of const usage in C++ 1. const constants, such as const, int, max = 100; Advantages: const constants have data types, and macro constants have no data type. The compiler can perform a type security check on the former, while the latter only performs character substitution, there is no type of security check, and unexpected errors may occur when the characters are replaced. 2. const modified class data members. Const data members are constants only in the lifetime of an object, and are mutable for the entire class. Because classes can create multiple objects, different objects can have different values for their const data members. Therefore, const data members cannot be initialized in class declarations, because the compiler does not know what the value of the const data member is when the object of the class is not created. Initialization of const data members can only be performed in the initialization table of the class constructor. 3., const modify the pointer, see the next type: Const, int*, a = [1] Int, const, *a = [2] Int*, const, a = [3] Const, int*, const, a = [4] Can refer to Effective c++ on Item21, if the const is located on the left side of the asterisk, const is used to modify the pointer variable, i.e. a pointer to const; if the const is located on the right side of the asterisk, const is the pointer itself, the pointer itself is constant. Therefore, [1] and [2] are the same, is a pointer pointing to the contents is a constant change of content is not allowed in this case, if not *a = 3; [3] for the pointer itself is constant, while the pointer is not constant, this case can not change the operation of the pointer. If the a++ is wrong; [4] is the pointer itself and points to the content is constant. Initialization of 4. const Take a look at the initialization of the const variable 1) non pointer const constant initialization: A b; Const, A, a = b; 2) the initialization of the pointer const const
