Comeau C++ agrees with VC++ 2005 - the code is ill-formed according to the
C++ standard.

Possible workarounds, depending on what you're doing in "action":

void action(const Foo* const & cptr);

or

void action(Foo * const & cptr);

or

void action(Foo *& cptr);

or

Foo* fPtr = new Foo();
action(const_cast<const Foo*&>(fPtr));

-cd
