[PATCH libmnl] callback: mark cb_ctl_array 'const' in mnl_cb_run2()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Users of mnl_cb_run2() would typically pass a 'static const' array as
cb_ctl_array parameter. Unfortunately this triggers a compiler warning
because the prototype doesn't declare cb_ctl_array with the 'const'
qualifier.

Since mnl_cb_run2() and __mnl_cb_run() don't modify cb_ctl_array (and
don't have any reason to do so in the future), we can mark this
parameter as 'const'.

There should be no impact on existing users beyond removing the
compiler warning when using a constant array.
