[cfe-dev] Is it safe to cast-away constness to use Clang static analysis?

Hello,

I'm writing a code refactoring tool that needs some static analysis
capabilities.
I've noticed that AST Matchers return const AST nodes, but static analysis
sometimes wants to consume non-const pointers.

For example to build call graph I need to pass non-const pointer:
 CallGraph::addToCallGraph(Decl *D)

So does static analysis modifies AST? Or it's just a bug in method
signature?

Thanks,
Roman
