[Bug c++/25525] 'const' modifier is ignored in static_cast specifier

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Comment #1 from pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org  2005-12-21 22:54 -------
GCC is correct:
const PTR mycast(const A *a) {
  return (static_cast<const PTR>(a));


a is a pointer to a const A.  While the cast you are trying to use is a
constant pointer to B.  And that is invalid C++ to use static_cast to remove a
const.
