New submission from Andy Lester <a...@petdance.com>:
gcc -Wcast-qual turns up a number of instances of casting away constness of pointers. Some of these can be safely modified, by either: * Adding the const to the type cast, as in: - return _PyUnicode_FromUCS1((unsigned char*)s, size); + return _PyUnicode_FromUCS1((const unsigned char*)s, size); * Removing the cast entirely, because it's not necessary (but probably was at one time), as in: - PyDTrace_FUNCTION_ENTRY((char *)filename, (char *)funcname, lineno); + PyDTrace_FUNCTION_ENTRY(filename, funcname, lineno); These changes will not change code, but they will make it much easier to check for errors in consts. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 361780 nosy: petdance priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Fix some casts to not cast away const type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39605> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
