title: C++ Const pointer declaration
body: <p>I am reviewing some code and I ran across some code I am unfamiliar with.  After some searching I could not come up of any example of why this is done or the benefit of this declaration.  </p>
  
  <pre><code>myClass const * const myPtr = myClass-&gt;getPointer();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is this a declaration of a const pointer or something entirely different?</p>
