Should have been "const char* const"

Ditto.

> Source/WebKit/Platform/win/LoggingWin.cpp:41
> +    static const char* loggingEnvironmentVariable = "WebKitLogging";

Ditto.

It seemed to be a really strange typo(?) so I made it match what `auto` would give, but certainly that wouldn't stop one from overwriting the string. At that rate surely `constexpr auto` (or explicitly `constexpr const char*`) would be better though, no?
Comment 10 Darin Adler 2019-03-19 09:15:33 PDT
"static const char*" is a global variable that can be overwritten with a new value. The characters can’t be overwritten, but the pointer can be.

"static const char* const" is a global constant that can’t be overwritten.

I don’t think the patch should have removed const, that was my point.

The patch changed from a constant pointer to non-constant characters (warning was about the non-constant characters pointing to read-only characters that are not safe to modify) to a *non-constant* pointer to constant characters. I don’t think making the pointer non-const was an improvement.

And yes, other ways to write it. The constexpr version sounds fine.
