Can a member variable be declared const in a class without initialization?

Note: This was originally posted on 5th January 2010 at http://forums.arm.com

I am trying to define a class providing an interface to hardware registers. Some of the registers are read-only. I would like to declare these registers const so they cannot be written, but the compiler is insisting I initialize them. But by initializing them, it is guranteed they will be written.

Does anyone have a solution to this dilemma?

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Steve.
