In the Qt constructor for the DateTime class, I see: QDateTime::QDateTime(const QDate &date) what is the need for the keyword const here? If it is to indicate that the date variable does not change, then in very many such places should the const keyword be used. But it is not. As a related question, in the syntax for printf, we have printf(const char *format) -- why should we have const here? -- Tux #395953 resides at http://samvit.org playing with KDE 3.51 on SUSE Linux 10.0 $ date [] CCE +2006-03-26 W12-7 UTC+0530 - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-c-programming" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
