// { dg-do assemble } int*& foo (int const *& x) { return const_cast (x); } /* If the references in this example are changed to pointers (change all `&''s to `*'), no warnings result. I think this is incorrect according to CD2 5.2.11, para 4: 4 An lvalue of type T1 can be explicitly converted to an lvalue of type T2 using the cast const_cast (where T1 and T2 are object types) if a pointer to T1 can be explicitly converted to the type pointer to T2 using a const_cast. The result of a reference const_cast refers to the original object. */
