 In C, these functions take a **`const`** pointer for the first argument. In C++, two overloads are available. The overload taking a pointer to **`const`** returns a pointer to **`const`**; the version that takes a pointer to non-**`const`** returns a pointer to non-**`const`**. The macro `_CRT_CONST_CORRECT_OVERLOADS` is defined if both the **`const`** and non-**`const`** versions of these functions are available. If you require the non-**`const`** behavior for both C++ overloads, define the symbol `_CONST_RETURN`.
