You can assign a const object to a non-const object just fine. Because you're copying and thus creating a new object, constness is not violated.
int main() {
const int a = 3;
int b = a;
}
It's different if you want to obtain a pointer or reference to the original, const object:
int main() {
const int a = 3;
int& b = a; // or int* b = &a;
}
// error: invalid initialization of reference of type 'int&' from
// expression of type 'const int'
You can use const_cast to hack around the type safety if you really must, but recall that you're doing exactly that: getting rid of the type safety. It's still undefined to modify a through b in the below example:
int main() {
const int a = 3;
int& b = const_cast<int&>(a);
b = 3;
}
Although it compiles without errors, anything can happen including opening a black hole or transferring all your hard-earned savings into my bank account.
If you have arrived at what you think is a requirement to do this, I'd urgently revisit your design because something is very wrong with it.
