I'm sorry, perhaps I should have explained myself better yesterday.
As in the patches I sent yesterday, at the same point ICONV_CONST is
defined in ut_types.h, I propose adding two macros:
#define ICONV_CONST const
#define C_CAST_CONST_TO_ICONV(P) (P)
#define CPP_CAST_CONST_TO_ICONV(P) (P)
#else
#define ICONV_CONST
#define C_CAST_CONST_TO_ICONV(P) ((char **)(P))
#define CPP_CAST_CONST_TO_ICONV(P) (const_cast<char **>(P))
#endif
As far as I could determine, each call to iconv in AbiWord's source needs
to cast from (const char **) to (ICONV_CONST char **). The patch I sent
replaces all these casts with the appropriate macro.
If ICONV_CONST = const, then no cast is necessary, and none is performed.
Regards, Frank
