From 04a395233089ed160ef87a6c2155e5dedc6f7d15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russ Cox Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2007 11:23:56 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Add const to pointer qualifiers for __chk_user_ptr and __chk_io_ptr. Change prototypes for __chk_user_ptr and __chk_io_ptr to take const void* instead of void*, so that code can pass "const void *" to them. (Right now sparse does not warn about passing const void* to void* functions, but that is a separate bug that I believe Josh is working on, and once sparse does check this, the changed prototypes will be necessary.)
