"const int * foo"
means that
foo is a pointer to an int that is constant.
Which could also be
"int const * foo"
foo is a pointer to a constant int.
But since the const qualifier for pointers can't be reordered like this, I think the point is that it's a better practice to have the const come after, so that it ALWAYS come after in your codebase regardless of the context?
