Hi,
I just have a small question for the vorbis API, regarding the use of
const char pointers. For example, in the following function:
extern void vorbis_comment_add_tag(vorbis_comment *vc,
char *tag, char *contents);
which is in vorbis/codec.h, why are the tag and contents parameters not
represented as const char pointers? are they expected to be changed by
this function? (I suppose not.)
The way I found the problem is when I write in the darkice source:
vorbis_comment_add_tag( &vorbisComment, "TITLE",
sink->getName());
I get a compiler warning of an implicit cast fron const char * to char
*, as sink->getName() returns a const char *, for obvious reasons. And
really, these string are not changed by the voribs API, are they? Thus
why aren't they const char pointers?
