const *obj  & broken in Visual C++ 2005

Asked by Olav00007 in Microsoft Visual C++.Net, Microsoft Visual C++

Tags: Visual C++ 2005, error C2664: 'usedToWork' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'CString *' to 'const CString *&'

The code below used to work until VC++ 2003, but I get error-message in VC++ 2005.
(Sitting here, I can see that it perhaps doesnt like that I could "return"  a const CString*, that it wont let me assign to a CString*, but that is not consistent with the error message)


static void
usedToWork (const CString* &field)
{
 
}


static void
callUsedToWork()
{
 CString* notconstP = new CString("notconst");
 usedToWork( notconstP);
}
