描述

While "Const as Much as Possible" is generally good practice, `const` should not be directly used on function declaration parameters, including member functions.

A quick example:

```
void foo (int x);
void foo (int const x) {return x * 2;}

void bar (char const * s);
void bar (char const * const s) {puts(s);}
```

Notice I said "directly". Hence `s` isn't `const` in the declaration, but is in the definition (direct), but what `s` points at is `const` in both, and must match in both (indirect).

The reason for doing this is to not leak a function's implementation details. Because whether a function treats a parameter variable as `const` or not is an implementation detail of the function. And if a function gets modified such that its parameter is no longer treated as `const`, then callers of that function shouldn't have to be recompiled.

This is a difference between C and C++. In C, the function definition's parameter type(s) must exactly match that of the function declarations. (At least it used to. I haven't actually developed anything significant with modern C.)

研究方向

issue 中沒有指定檔案或測試。首先定位涵蓋 const 函式參數的 best practices 部分,然後將其中的指引與報告中的 C 和 C++ 範例進行比較;當文件明確區分參數本身的直接 constness 與所指向資料的 constness 時,即視為完成。
