There are two function with same signature, but one is constant function, the other is not, how can I call the const function with no errors?

try putting one of the functions in its own namespace

Having two methods with the same name, one of which modifies the state of the class and one of which doesn't, seems inherently unintuitive to me. The name of the method should make it clear what it is a method does. If those methods are doing conceptually different things, then that should be reflected in their names.
