[Bug c++/29905] New: double const not const anymore.

["carlo at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

This used to work fine with version 3.x

double const d = 4.3;
int const c = (int)d;
int a[c];

troep2.cc:3: error: array bound is not an integer constant


Every 4.x version gives the same error.

I really don't like this, because I have code that depends
heavily on computations with double during *compile time*.
If the above means that all those calculations are postponed
to runtime :/  Why?

I really hope this is a bug.
