I'd prefer more real and explicit use of const, and correcting all const-ness mistakes, rather than leaving it as a hint to the programmer. It's possible that compilers will be able to optimise better if they know something is const.
Ack.
Also, no-one commented on my suggestion a long time back to remove -fno-strict-aliasing from gcc's flags. In theory we're stopping some possible gcc optimisations with this.
I don't see a reason, why we would need -fno-strict-aliasing.
