    COMP: Prefer const pointer when value does not change · acc916ed
    Hans Johnson authored
    The check finds function parameters of a pointer type that could be changed to
    point to a constant type instead.
    
    When const is used properly, many mistakes can be avoided. Advantages when
    using const properly:
     - prevent unintentional modification of data;
     - get additional warnings such as using uninitialized data;
     - make it easier for developers to see possible side effects.
    
    This check is not strict about constness, it only warns when the constness will
    make the function interface safer.
