Exactly. const int* is a non-const pointer to a const int; int* const is a const pointer to a non-const int. So I’m pretty confused by the claims.
Maybe the compiler will happily let you modify the dereferenced const int* (undefined behavior), wouldn’t try it now, but that’s not what the signature promises.
Edit: Thought about it more and read some other comments. Now it makes sense.
