Note that using const Class* in C++ is essentially useless.
The class remains mutable and the reference is local the the
callee anyway, so it doesn't change anything for the caller.
Such a pattern is most likely indicative of a bug on the C++
side, or at least of code that do not do what the author
intend to.
For `const Class*` the Class is not mutable. It is the case of
`Class* const` that Class is mutable.
You are correct. See my first post for an explanation of this
specific case.
