A similar loose typing is seen, for example:p -const char * +const char * const src/backend/access/rmgrdesc/*.c relmap_identify(uint8 info) seq_identify(uint8 info) smgr_identify(uint8 info) .... (many)... src/backend/access/transam/xact.c: BlockStateAsString(TBlockState blockState) I foundnd them by find $(TOP) -type f -exec egrep -nH -e '^(static )?const char \*' {} + then eyeballing on the first ones. I don't know an automated way to detect such possibly-loose constness of variables or functions. regards. -- Kyotaro Horiguchi NTT Open Source Software Center
