A lot of getter functions are written like

const type getValue() const {return value;}

where the compiler complains about the first const .
(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21478342/c-const-in-getter

The correct way would be to write

type getValue() const {return value;}

which does not alter the state of the object.
