Mystery of const_cast

Question

const int t = 9;
const int *p = &t;
*const_cast<int*>(p) = 999999;
cout << p << " " << *p << endl;
cout << &t << " " << t << endl;

Why isn't "*p" the same value with "t"??

Ok thank you!

Answer 5

const_cast is safe to use only with reference/pointer that point to not-const variables else result is undefined... I think that result is dependent from compiler internals and optimizations
