Détails

Would you like to apply the advices from a well-known article to more places in your sources?

I suggest to add the key word "const" to the type specifiers for parameters like the following.

I think it is good. Do you have an idea for list up the points of replace?

I'm sorry - I do not really understand your reply on this issue.

I have pointed already to a few places in the source files which might need further clarification about the handling of more data structures in a read-only way.

I'm grateful for your suggestion, but I guess your meaning isn't correct only the "Example" points.

Do you have any idea for find *all of the place* that need to add const?

I do not know the source files good enough to definitely say in all places where data structures are used that do not need to be modified by a passed pointer. I have got the impression that there are still more update candidates in the source code.

I hope to get a clarification on the interface design from the core software developers.

Disputed points and side-effect are too many, and team members doesn't have enough time to fix this issue.

How can the concerns about potential side effects be clarified?
