Agreed. Furthermore: (1) though the consting rules between C and C++ are slightly different, IIRC, it would be useful to look at how come there is difference in here? Maybe C++ is onto something? (2) how much would actually break if the Perl_get_vtbl() would become const? Is one really supposed to be able to modify the vtbl? >Thread Previous | Thread Next
