--- Comment #6 from Paul Smith <psmith at gnu dot org> ---
Still see this in GCC 6.2.0.  It was even more confusing for me because in my
case the const in the return type was hidden in a typedef:

  class Foo
  {
      typedef const char* const MyType;
    ...

      MyType myFunction() const { ... }
  };

Shows this error:

  Foo.h:202:26: error: type qualifiers ignored on function return type
       MyType myFunction() const
                           ^~~~~

I was _really_ confused :).

I'm not even sure this should trigger this error... I mean, it's inside a type.
 In my case I can take it out without a big problem but what if I wanted to
have the const in the type?  Then I can't return that type anymore without a
warning?  Maybe that's a separate bug.
