the difference between const int *, int * const, int const *

　　Some people may be confused about the sequence of const and * on declaration in C++/C, me too.

　　Now I think we can distinguish them by this way:

　　1.only noticing the position of const to *, and we can find that the following statements are same:　　　　

const int * foo_int;
int const * foo_int_;　　//same.

　　2.regarding const as a postpositive attributes,and you will know the content which is const.

　　

int foo = ;
int foo_ = ;
 
//the foo_int is const, but the pointer to foo_int can be chaged.
int const * foo_int = &foo;
 
//illegal, the value cannot be chaged
//*foo_int = 7
 
//okay!
foo_int = &foo_;
 
//the pointer to int is const, but foo_int_ can be chaged.
int * const foo_int_ = &foo_int;
 
//illegal, the pointer cannot be changed.
//foo_int = &foo_int_;
//even if the new pointer is same, it's illegal
//foo_int = &foo_int;
 
//okay
*foo_int = ;
