What does “const class” mean?

Question

After some find and replace refactoring I ended up with this gem:

const class A
{
};

What does \"const class\" mean? It seems to compile ok

Not for me it doesn't. I think your compiler's just being polite and ignoring it.

Edit: Yep, VC++ silently ignores the const, GCC complains.
