Interesting. I just encountered the opposite, and thus added the const, as that also agrees with Microsoft's documentation. Also, I figured that even if this was different in older versions (I'm using TDM's GCC 4.5) it should be safe to hand it a function that takes a const parameter...

Well, if you want to declare the parameter being const then you should write:

ENHMETARECORD * const lpEMFR

which is a const pointer to a non const ENHMETARECORD object, otherwise:

const ENHMETARECORD* lpEMFR or (which is the same) ENHMETARECORD const * lpEMFR

is a non const pointer to a const ENHMETARECORD object, and you can't pass a const pointer to it (being the ENHMETARECORD object const or not).
