Is there some ninja trick to make a variable constant after its declaration?

Question

I know the answer is 99.99% no, but I figured it was worth a try, you never know.

void SomeFunction(int a)
{
    // Here some processing happens on a, for ex         


        

Answer 1

I don't actually suggest doing this, but you could use creative variable shadowing to simulate something like what you want:

void SomeFunction(int a)
{
    // Here some processing happens on a, for example:
    a *= 50;
    a %= 10;
    if(example())
       a = 0;
    {
        const int b = a;
        const int a = b;  // New a, shadows the outside one.
        // Do whatever you want inside these nested braces, "a" is now const.
    }
}
