Lightning Talk: Const Mayhem in C++
summary
Claims and concrete surprises: const methods legally modify members via a pointer-initialized member that increments memory and runs on major compilers, a const object cannot be default-initialized unless a user-provided default constructor exists and defining that constructor out-of-class can make it compile, the standard mishandles volatile members of const objects, and some of these patterns are technically undefined behavior yet accepted by compilers.
