Subject: [patch 3/3] xen/privcmd: remove const modifier from declaration
Date: Sat, 8 Sep 2012 12:58:08 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120908095808.GC608@elgon.mountain> (raw)
When we use this pointer, we cast away the const modifier and modify the
data. I think it was an accident to declare it as const.
