关于c++常量函数(const member function)

在c++ primer中对于常最函数的解析如下：

• By default, the type of this is a const pointer to nonconst version of the class type. However, in the case, we cannot bind this to a const object. And means we cannot call an ordinary member function on a const object.
• There is no place to indicate that this should be a pointer to const. The language resolves this problem by letting this us put const after the parameter list of a member function. A const following the parameter list indicates that this is a pointer to const.

解析

• 在默认情况下，this是一个指向非const类型的const指针，那么，在这种情况下this不能绑定在一个const对象上，也就意味着我们不能调用const对象的常规成员函数。Note: this指针的绑定是由编译器指执行的，可以理解为Class_Name::member(&object)，同时this = &object，此时this是Class_Name *const
• 由于this是由编译器绑定的，我们不能直接定义this的类型，cpp中使用常量函数这种形式来指示在此函数中this为一个指向const类型的const指针，这同时也可以解释在常量函数中为什么不能修改成量变量的值。
