C++ Fix16 cast operators should be const. #15

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Compile
  Fix16 a(2.0);
  Fix16 b(4.0);
  int16_t c = a+b;

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
We get the error:
  error: passing ‘const Fix16’ as ‘this’ argument of ‘Fix16::operator int16_t()’ discards qualifiers [-fpermissive]

This code should, IMHO, successfully compile with no warning.
The problem is that the operator+() method returns a const Fix16, on which we 
call operator int16_t() which is not const, and can not apply on that object.

Attached is a (very simple) fix (just setting all cast operators as const).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest svn revision.
