Well, you can say things like: char * const *ptr Which means that *ptr is const, but ptr and **ptr are not. Each of those can be made const/not const as desired... What is intended here is quite a different question, the use of pointers in that part of psql is a bit haphazard at times. FWIW, Coverity complains about stuff here too, but I just marked it all WONTFIX :).
