Saber does not allow the following legitimate C code:
struct bar {
char *data;
};
int foo(msg)
const struct bar *msg;
{
printf("message: %s\n",msg->data);
}
it says:
"/tmp/foo.c":8, foo(), Illegal argument type (Error #260)
7: {
8: printf("message: %s\n",msg->data);
^
9: }
Illegal argument type:
(struct bar const *) ->
There's nothing illegal about referencing through a const pointer.
