Answer 1

As others have said, conversions aren't applied to the template parameters. Put another way,

vector

...and:

vector

... are completely different types.

If you are trying to implement const-correctness in regard to f() not modifying the contents of the vector, this might be more along the lines of what you're looking for:

void f(vector::const_iterator begin, vector::const_iterator end)
{
  for( ; begin != end; ++begin )
  {
    // do something with *begin
  }
}

int main()
{
  vector nonConstVec;
  f(nonConstVec.begin(), nonConstVec.end());
}
