Yes. To cast away the volatile-ness of an object,
const_castis used:This is the way. But whether you should use it in your code or not, I cannot say without looking at the code. In general, casting away the const-ness as well as volatile-ness, is a dangerous idea, and should be done only after very careful examination of all cases.
