I need a way to force calling a constant version of member function. I’m trying to make it efficient as possible. Any good solutions?
EDIT: looking for a generic function

EDIT: looking for a generic function
Make a reference to a const Type, or a pointer to a const Type.
You can do that in a fancy way, but at the end of the day, that’s the only way.
Though really I don’t see what the purpose of this is. Seems like it’s not worth the effort.
Also, I’m not quite sure I understand what you mean by a generic function. That needs some clarification, but if I understand correctly, you want to take a pointer/value/reference and pass it to a function and have it magically call a const method? That would only work if polymorphism or at least a method of the same name (templating) could be used.
