Const and Optimization in C

In 2nd paragraph, the author states:

    void foo(const int *);
    ...

> The function foo takes a const pointer, which is a promise from the author of foo that it won’t modify the value of x. Given this information, it would seem the compiler may assume x is always zero, and therefore y is always zero.

It is clear that the author means "pointer to const" there.
