This is common in C++: >void Foo(const string& str) No. The nearest you can get is to split a type into two, put the const methods in the first class, and put the non-const methods in the second class and derive the second class from the first class. Of course you could split it into 2 interfaces if you wanted. All in all, a lot of work. Note also that /1/ you cannot split get/set accessors. /2/ you can never stop simple assignment for a user defined type. /3/ if you write E.M(...) and E is not classified as a variable then you're actually calling M on a copy of E.
