Hi all, Suppose I have a pointer that I want to pass through function parameters. In the function, neither is the pointer reassigned, nor is the thing it points to modified in any form.
So, I would assume its function argument signature to be like FAR const struct my_struct * const ptr (The second "const" is my focus here). Similarly for things like const uint8_t my_num, etc. as well. However, I have not really seen much use of specifying constants using const (in the way I have mentioned above). Most of the examples I see are of FAR const struct my_struct * ptr. I have heard the compiler can make better optimizations for const, and because of this, I try to spam const anywhere and everywhere I can. But I don't see too many such usages across the codebase, so I was wondering why that is (or I just maybe reading the code wrong, in which case, forgive me 🙏). Regards, Saurav Pal.
