New submission from Michael Ensslin: The prototype for the public API function _PyTraceback_Add is declared
_PyTraceback_Add(char *, char *, int); Internally, its char * arguments are passed verbatim to PyCode_NewEmpty, which takes const char * arguments. The missing 'const' qualifier for the arguments of _PyTraceback_Add thus serves no purpose, and means that C++ code can't invoke the method with const char * arguments. I've attached a proposed patch. I can't think of any negative consequences from adding the 'const' qualifier (famous last words). ---------- components: Interpreter Core files: const.patch keywords: patch messages: 245185 nosy: mic-e priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: _PyTraceback_Add has no const qualifier for its char * arguments versions: Python 3.5, Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file39685/const.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24436> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
