Sorry, I meant that it is almost magic that we only given an error/warning when casting away qualifiers and not for other invalid conversions since the only thing that we really know at the point of giving the warning/error is that a conversion was reject. > As static_cast cannot cast away qualifiers. Also note we (Sony) changed our > GCC to just say qualifiers instead of constness. Why such changes are not contributed back to FSF's GCC?
