+The ``const`` attribute can be applied to the declaration of a function to
signal that repeated calls to the function with the same argument values may be
safe to elide because the subsequent calls will always return the same value as
the initial call.
+
+The attribute informs the optimizer that the function cannot read or write to
memory, does not support unwinding, will return (has no infinite loops), and
that any pointer or reference arguments to the call will not be read from or
written to.
+
+The attribute generally should only be used on functions with a non-``void``
return type which do not accept a pointer or reference argument.
+The ``const`` attribute imposes greater restrictions than the related ``pure``
attribute; applying both attributes to a declaration will be diagnosed and
``pure`` will be ignored.
