Tcl Source Code

Here's a patch implementing TIP 27 
(CONST-ification of APIs) for the 
files generic/tclUtf.c and
generic/tclRegExp.c. 
It includes necessary changes to docs and 
headers. 

Note in particular that several routines
previously returning (char *) now return
(CONST char *) and this may be a source
incompatibility for the callers as approved
in TIP 27.

I'll correct the ChangeLog entries for both Tcl and
Tk before commit.

I believe Mo brought this topic up sometime in the past. He
asks us to explicitly spell out each changed file in the
ChangeLog instead of writing glob pattern as that makes
searching (grep, editor) for when a specific file was
touched much easier.

Beyond that I see no problem with the patch.

Assigning to 34 maintainer for review.

Note this patch modifies mac/tclMacLoad.c.
There is a new version of Tcl Patch 435658
in the works that will have different
modifications to that file.  It is expected
that after Patch 435658 is integrated in its
final form, there will be no further changes
required to achieve the goals of this patch.

After 435658 is integrated, watch this report
for an updated TIP 27 patch.
