Is there some ninja trick to make a variable constant after its declaration?

by

One solution would be to factor all of the mutation code into a lambda expression. Do all of the mutation in the lambda expression and assign the result out to a const int in the method scope. For example

void SomeFunction(const int p1) { 
  auto calcA = [&]() {
    int a = p1;
    a *= 50;
    a %= 10;
    if(example())
       a = 0;
    ..
    return a;
  };
  const int a = calcA();
  ...
}

or even

void SomeFunction(const int p1) { 
  const int a = [&]() {
    int a = p1;
    a *= 50;
    a %= 10;
    if(example())
       a = 0;
    ..
    return a;
  }();
  ...
}
