What happens when a normal object wants to call a constant member function??

Like what @Vladislav stated, it depends. If the normal object calls a constant member just to modify it, it will throw an error. Otherwise, it will work like a normal function.

Constant member functions guarantees that fields of object won't be modified. If object is marked as const, calling the non-constant function will throw an error. So if const function doesn't modify - the code works, if it does - compiler throws an error.

A normal object calls a constant member function with no error! :)
