Dennis Ritchie questions

• Why does this `auto` not automatically turn into "`const`" [duplicate]
• Better way of enforcing this template?
• Error handling in C++, constructors vs. regular methods
• decltype - "the only context in which a variable defined as a reference is not treated as a synonym for the object to which it refers"?
• vector<const int> is not allowed. Why is pair<const int, int> allowed? [duplicate]
• The easiest way (boost allowed) to get a "yyyymmdd" date string in C++
• What's the need for special exception classes?
• Making a program portable between machines that have different number of bits in a "machine byte"
• Why use initializer_list instead of vector in parameters?
