Well, the variable you are assigning it to should be a `const char *` if 
the source variable is a `const char *`.

Possibly, the C code didn't mark it as `const char *`, because I'm 
pretty sure C has `strchr` being:

`char * strchr(const char *, int)`

Because, you know, const doesn't matter in C ;)

If that doesn't work, then you *may* need to start allocating. But I'd 
try that first.
