If the gain is for human readers of the API rather than the compiler and some level of automated checking, what about this trick: #define constp Then you can use it wherever you want to instruct readers that the parameter is a constant, it's now a noise word as far as the compiler is concerned (thanks to the precompiler replacing it with an empty string).
