Typically done by:

munging_function("A constant string.");

You can either do:

strcpy(buf, "A constant string.");
munging_function(buf);

or just be lazy and do:

munging_function((char *)"A constant string.");

(Which you may note that I did the latter in some places of stock
CircleMUD. I did so because it was worse previously (no const at all) and
less changes to get a "better" result. It may get further fixed in the
future.)
