Can I initialize a static const member at run-time in C++?

Question

Is it possible to initialize a static const member of my class during run-time? This variable is a constant throughout my program but I want to send it as a command-line arg

Answer 1

Not only you can't, you should not try doing this by messing with const_cast. Static const members have a very high chance of ending up in read-only segment, and any attempt to modify them will cause program to crash.
