Hi GCC dev team, I have developed software to parse C(++) code and automatically add const to function arguments (tracing all functions and their references). However, I have encountered an issue with the GCC/VS compilers preventing assignment of typeX** to const typeX**. Considering that const is being automatically added to the code after it is written, there is no danger of the situation occurring that is used to justify this limitation (http://c-faq.com/ansi/constmismatch.html). The const attribute is purely being used to enable programmers to know whether a variable is expected to be modified by the function (no checking of the problematic case above is required). I was wondering; is there any way of working around this design constraint?
Thanks for your help. Best Regards, Richard Baxter
