Are there any advantages in using const parameters with an ordinal type?

Viewed 7601

I know marking string parameters as const can make a huge performance difference, but what about ordinal types? Do I gain anything by making them const?

I've always used const parameters when handling strings, but never for Integer, Pointer, class instances, etc.

When using const I often have to create additional temporary variables, which replace the now write-protected parameters, so I'm wondering: Do I gain anything from marking ordinal parameters as const?
