Hi Andrew: I now (revision 11621) have good results (no errors, no warning messages related to const, and the same C comparison results as before) for all languages with Swig-generated bindings. The last one (Octave) was much more difficult than the rest because of all the special my_* API variants that are present in our current Octave bindings. Could you please put on your ToDo list to take a critical look at these my_* API variants for Octave? I suspect a number of those are not that useful and could be dropped so that we could have simpler and easier-to-maintain Octave bindings going forward. I have also decided (revision 11622) to retire the matwrapped Octave bindings. The swig-generated Octave bindings are superior in all respects that I am aware of. Also, I certainly don't want to deal with const issues (whatever those might be) for the matwrapped Octave bindings, and I doubt anybody else wants to do that either. This completes the swig-related part of the const modifier project although to finish off the entire project there are still some const-related compiler warnings I will be dealing with.
