dynamic_cast from a const class

[Andrey Belevantsev <abel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Does the below code look like valid C++, or is it a G++ bug?  5.2.7 has

<...>
The dynamic_cast operator shall not cast away constness (5.2.11).

The other compilers I could check quickly (clang, icc, msvc) all reject the 
code, GCCs 3.3, 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8 accept the code.

Andrey


class A {
};

class B : public A {
};

int main() {
  A* a;
  B* b = new B();
  a = dynamic_cast<const A*>(b);
  return 0;
}
