Is it UB to Modify where pointer points, when original data is const?

Would it be undefined behavior to change where a pointer points, when its data is const? Example:

Answer 1

The code in the first snippet is 100% correct. You have a pointer to const p, which you repoint to something else. All good and in mint condition.

The second piece of code is ill-formed. You can't modify an object after removing the constness, if original object was const-qualified (which string literal is).
