In the following code, a reference to pointer to const int is
permitted to be directly initialized by a pointer to int. This
breaks const correctness, and is illegal according to the standard.
extern "C" int printf(const char *, ...);
int main(int, char **)
{
volatile const int c = 42;
volatile int *p;
volatile const int *&r = p;
r = &c;
*p = 0;
if (c != 42)
printf("FAILED!\n");
}
