What's the point of having a 'type const name' as argument in functions? You really want to be sure that the thing it points to will not be modified, not the pointer itself. > Somebody told me to not care too much about it, but I'd be with you > just because of 'correctness'. > But maybe this coccinelle stuff (lucas) can help us fixing this Coccinelle might be used for this, but what would be the pattern to search for? If this is simply a " find all getter functions and ensure it receives a const pointer", it'd would be feasible with a simple sed/perl script.
