It looks to me it is a bug. axiom_attribute_get_value should be
returning a const axis2_char_t.

There seems to be a fundamental problem with functions that return
values of type axis2_chart_t*. We have only investigated a couple of
them but it appears that const values are being casted away in some
instances. Please view the following example:
<snippet>
AXIS2_EXTERN
axis2_char_t*
axiom_attribute_get_value(
axiom_attribute_t * attribute,
const axutil_env_t * env)
{
if (attribute->value)
{
return (axis2_char_t *)
axutil_string_get_buffer(attribute->value, env);
}
return NULL;
}
</snippet>
Note that the return value of axiom_attribute_get_value is a NON-const
axis2_char_t*. Note the cast on the return value of function
axutil_string_get_buffer. Here is the declaration of
axutil_string_get_buffer.
<snippet>
AXIS2_EXTERN
const axis2_char_t*
axutil_string_get_buffer(
const struct axutil_string *string,
const axutil_env_t * env);
</snippet>
Note that the return value is a CONST axis2_char_t*. The const
attribute of this pointer is being removed via the cast.
Is this expected functionality? If not I suggest you research all
functions that return axis2_char_t*.
Regards.
