basic_string::const_pointer
A type that provides a pointer to a const element in a string.
typedef typename allocator_type::const_pointer const_pointer;
Remarks
The type is a synonym for allocator_type::const_pointer.
For type string, it is equivalent to char*.
Pointers that are declared const must be initialized when they are declared. Const pointers always point to the same memory location and may point to constant or nonconstant data.
Example
// basic_string_const_ptr.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
basic_string<char>::const_pointer pstr1a = "In Here";
const char *cstr1c = "Out There";
cout << "The string pstr1a is: " << pstr1a << "." << endl;
cout << "The C-string cstr1c is: " << cstr1c << "." << endl;
}
The string pstr1a is: In Here. The C-string cstr1c is: Out There.
