@solarmerps We know a little C, enough that we think that that declaration is declaring a const char * (i.e. pointer to a character, how C does strings) named ss, and the memory location it points to dereferences to a character/string with the volatile, const, and restrict attributes. we don't know what restrict does.

@solarmerps (we have looked it up, restrict is a flag for the compiler that tells it that nothing accesses the object at that memory location other than this specific pointer, which helps the compiler optimize the output machine code)
