--- Comment #5 from Mark Wielaard <m...@klomp.org> --- (In reply to Paul Floyd from comment #4) > Why do you think making sysctl newp const might be unsafe? > > The signature on FreeBSD is > > int > sysctl(const int *name, u_int namelen, void *oldp, size_t *oldlenp, > const void *newp, size_t newlen); > > On Darwin it is non--const, but there are only two calls to it both with > NULL arguments for newp. > > Either way newp gets cast to (UWord). > > I prefer to keep it const as this makes the interface clearer (an optional > input-only argument). But it doesn't match the actual VG_(sysctl) function in coregrind/m_libcproc.c we actually use, so it causes compile errors. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
