ISTM That there is still at least one strange cast:
+static const char **LWLockTrancheArray = NULL;
+ LWLockTrancheArray = (const char **) // twice
These are not cases of "cheating". This is just the return value of a
memory allocation function being cast from void * to the appropriate
result type. That is an orthogonal style decision that I have
maintained in these cases.
Ok. I'm at the limit of my C abilities.
Your answer is about void * vs char *, I'm okay with that.
My question was about no const / const in the same operation.
Would it make sense that the function returns "const void *", i.e. the
cast is not on the const part but on the pointer type part?
