unneeded stuff when call

[Anirudha]

i knew from what i read that references in C++ are constant pointers which
are automatically dereferenced..
And once a reference is initialized to an object, it cannot be changed to
refer to another object.
so something like this shud not work..
int main()
{
     int p=15;
     int m=10;
     int &s=p;
     s=m;
   }
on the last line it shud give compile time error.
But it's compiling as well as running fine in GCC..

am i missing something ?
