I want to know about const internals in C and C++ . How does the compiler impose "constantness" ?
In general
constis 100% compiler. When you declare something const, the compiler places restrictions on what it will let you write. It won’t let you assign to const scalar, assign through a const reference or or pointer, or invoke a non-const function of const object.There is no guarantee that the compiler will arrange any sort of runtime protection.
