Right.

Yes, I remember now. The above is the C declaration.
C++ has overloading, so in C++ it's
char* strrchr(char* s, int c);
char const* strrchr(char const* s, int c);
Which makes perfect sense: on a const string you get a const
return value; on a non-const string you get a non-const return
value.
Apparently the OP's compile environment picks up the C version.
