Constness of a pointer, in c and c++ means absolutely nothing. It is just a
way for programmer to self policy, same as private/public in c++/java, they
are only for compilers to throw errors and programmers to avoid those
errors. In memory, it is just data, and as data, in c you can force
compiler to represent them in any way, ie cast. Anyways, glad to be help.
