Just Another Wannabe

Une page qui a vocation à lister les différences majeures et un peu piégeuses ou marrantes entre C et C++.

GCC et G++ n’ont pas la même gestion des const (qui dépend du compilateur) !

exemple :

snippy:const snippy$ which gcc |xargs ls -l
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  7 Jan  8 01:28 /usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-4.0
snippy:const snippy$ which g++ |xargs ls -l
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  7 Jan  8 01:28 /usr/bin/g++ -> g++-4.0
snippy:const snippy$ gcc const.c
snippy:const snippy$ ./a.out

snippy:const snippy$ g++ const.cpp
snippy:const snippy$ ./a.out

2,2,3 pour GCC contre 1,2,3 pour G++
“C-language ‘borrowed’ the keyword ‘const’ from C++, which didn’t exist in 1979″

kode

snippy:const snippy$ cat const.c

/* If an attempt is made to modify an object defined with a const-qualified
 * type through use of an lvalue with non-const-qualified type,

    int *y = (int*)&x;

    return x;

    int *b = (int*)&a;
    *b = 2;
    printf("%d %d \n%d %d \n%d \n", a, *b, &a, b, modify(a));
