Probelm with const_cast in aCC6

[Samir Benjamin]

How to overcome this error?

RCSIResponseToXml.cpp", line 369: error #2717: the type in a const_cast must
be a pointer, reference, or pointer to member to an object type
XmlTagEmit ("POBox", const_cast(billInfo->getbillingNameAndAddress()).getROUTEBOX(), xml);

Hi!

If BillingNameAndAddress is the class, try:

XmlTagEmit ("POBox", const_cast(billInfo->getbillingNameAndAddress()).getROUTEBOX(), xml);

Note the ``&'' following immediately the class name.

Why would you need to const_cast the result of a function call? Functions don't return "const" things. They could return pointers or references to them.

It would be helpful if you can provide the signature of getROUTEBOX().
