Synopsis: Nuke CONST_PTR
State-Changed-From-To: open->analyzed
State-Changed-By: chastain
State-Changed-When: Tue Feb 12 02:29:21 2002
State-Changed-Why:
I have written and tested a patch.
The rationale for CONST_PTR was to accommodate Microsoft compilers (ChangeLog-1996). gdb 4.18 and gdb 5.0 have conditional definitions for CONST_PTR. gdb 5.1 and gdb 5.1.1 have unconditional definitions.
gdb 5.1 was released on 2002-11-22 so I'd like to wait six months to a year from that date to see if any complaints come in from the field. I'd be happy to send in my patch sooner if people want it.
