Subject: Constify unpack_varlen_hex & fix fallout
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=256642e857886f1e3da86ce2484f9df5a5a6b904;p=binutils-gdb.git

Constify unpack_varlen_hex & fix fallout

I ran into non-const unpack_varlen_hex while working on something
else, and decided to just fix it first.  Ends up constifying a good
deal of remote packet parsing.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-09-29  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* common/rsp-low.c (unpack_varlen_hex): Constify.
	* common/rsp-low.h (unpack_varlen_hex): Constify.
	* linux-nat.c (linux_child_static_tracepoint_markers_by_strid):
	Constify.
	* remote.c (remote_set_permissions, read_ptid)
	(remote_current_thread, remote_get_threads_with_qthreadinfo)
	(remote_static_tracepoint_marker_at)
	(remote_static_tracepoint_markers_by_strid)
	(stop_reply_extract_thread, remote_parse_stop_reply): Constify.
	* tracepoint.c (parse_trace_status, parse_tracepoint_status)
