Fraser Adams created PROTON-442:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Running swig generates "Warning(451): Setting a const 
char * variable may leak memory."
                 Key: PROTON-442
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-442
             Project: Qpid Proton
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: proton-c
    Affects Versions: 0.5
            Reporter: Fraser Adams
            Priority: Minor


When building proton after doing cmake .. the make process is quite "noisy" 
generating a number of warnings that ought to be corrected.

One such warning is:
"Warning(451): Setting a const char * variable may leak memory."

This relates to the "const char *bytes;" in the pn_delivery_tag_t struct in 
engine.h

The swig documentation in http://www.swig.org/Doc1.3/Warnings.html suggests how 
to suppress this warning (due to the way the code works I believe that it's 
safe to suppress this case) by doing:

%warnfilter(451) pn_delivery_tag_t;

in the various python.i, perl.i etc.

I've make the changes locally and this indeed works.

I'll put together a review board request.
