Re: [Inkscape-devel] Private strings: use of const

2010/9/19 Kris De Gussem <kris.degussem@...400...>:

This would result in:    gchar * const get_help     (void) { return _help; }

Or is there something that I am missing? BTW: this is just an example, the same reasoning is valid for the listings in parameter.h

Condensed reply: The warning tells you to mark the function as const, so it can be called when you use a constant reference or a constant pointer to the object. It's not related to const return types or const parameters.
