These shouldn't be const. 'const' means constant, or, in other words,
means the variable's value doesn't change. You can safely remove 'const'
without, in theory, creating any new warnings -- variables inside the
scope of a function do not effect the function's prototype. That is, if
int isname (const char *, const char *);
is the prototype, then,
int isname (const char *a, const char *b)
{
/* any valid code can go here */
}
meets the requirements. The body of the function doesn't have an impact
and thus does not need to change under this circumstance.
