Glibc uses 'const' for the basename() parameter.
Fix the prototype.
Yes, but see basename(3p):
SYNOPSIS
#include <libgen.h>
char *basename(char *path);
...
The basename() function may modify the string pointed to by path,
and may return a pointer to internal storage. The returned pointer
might be invalidated or the storage might be overwritten by a sub‐
sequent call to basename(). The returned pointer might also be
invalidated if the calling thread is terminated.
I'll skip this patch.
It's POSIX that states that, so yes, I'll drop it.
Cheers,
Alex
