Syntax
mutable <variable name>;
Description
Use the mutable specifier to make a variable modifiable even though it is in a const-qualified expression.
Using the mutable Keyword
Only class data members can be declared mutable. The mutable keyword cannot be used on static or const names. The purpose of mutable is to specify which data members can be modified by const member functions. Normally, a const member function cannot modify data members.
