Subject: const qualifiers on function returns type
Date: Sat, 9 Apr 2005 03:09:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <40f323d005040818095eb63950@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

there are some function who are declared this way:

include/linux/cpuset.h:21
extern const cpumask_t cpuset_cpus_allowed(const struct task_struct *p);

I was wondering what means const for a function returns type.
K&R doesn't say anything about this and gcc-4 warns (warning: type
qualifiers ignored on function return type)

If it is a mistake, there are a few functions who should be modified.

Regards,

Benoit
