The non-const get_p is your example is compliant with 9-3-2, even if it is circumventing the aim of the rule.

The rule was drafted to prevent external functions directly modifying the contents of classes. In this case get_p is returning the value of p, not a handle that allows p to be modified. The fact that this allows arr to be modified is beyond the scope of the rule
