I would expect g++ to give me a warning for calling a non-const
member function with a const object in the following, but it does not:

class B {
    int x;
public:
    void foo(void) { x = 1; }
};

class A {
    B *p;
public:
    A() { p = 0; }
    const B & ro() { return *p; }
};

main()
{
    A a;
    a.ro().foo();	// warn me, please!
}
