I don't think there is, other than the hassle to implement a variant of pa_hashmap_iterate() (called by pa_proplist_update(), which is called by pa_proplist_copy()) that takes a const pa_hashmap pointer and returns const pointers. That could be avoided by doing some ugly casts in pa_proplist_update(). I'm not sure which is worse - duplicating pa_hashmap_iterate() or the ugly casts. In any case, if the non-constness of the pa_proplist_copy() argument is a problem for someone, I think we should fix pa_proplist_copy() in one way or another. -- Tanu
