...by asking a simple question...
Why waste the storage space?
A question that implies the GCC compiler does not optimize const declarations. That is not a "simple question".
...I tried to answer your questions...
Your responses are based on a hypothetical compiler. Perfect answers on a C++ standards forum. Or, in a response to a question about portability. The compiler in question is not hypothetical, this is not a standards forum, and the question was not about portability.
I haven't done anything with any intention of insulting you.
I do not feel insulted. Thank you for your concern.
No need to be insulting.
Even though I fail to understand why you feel insulted it makes no difference. I apologize for insulting you.
If you have a technical argument...
I have already stated my position. I will not engage in any argument about a hypothetical compiler. You are free to do as you please.
...bring it on I'm all in for it
"Bring it on"? No thanks.
