Pedro Alves a0bcdaa75e More invalid pointer to pointer conversions.
As a follow up to:

  http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-03/msg00449.html

In a nutshell, casts between 'char **' <-> 'unsigned char **' and
'char **' <-> 'const char **' are invalid.

I grepped for "\*\*) &" and found these.  There's another one in
demangle.c, but I've split fixing that one to a separate patch.

I think the ada_decode_symbol change is perhaps the one that could be
surprising.  The function's description has this comment, which makes
things much clearer:

   The GSYMBOL parameter is "mutable" in the C++ sense: logically
   const, but nevertheless modified to a semantically equivalent form
   when a decoded name is cached in it.  */

 const char *
 ada_decode_symbol (const struct general_symbol_info *gsymbol)

With that out of the way, I think the patch ends up being pretty
obvious.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.

2013-03-13  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* ada-lang.c (ada_decode_symbol): Cast away constness of GSYMBOL
	rather than casting 'const char * const *' to 'const char **'.
	* ada-lex.l (processInt): Make "trailer" local const.  Remove
	'const char **' cast.
	* arm-linux-tdep.c (arm_stap_parse_special_token): Add 'char *'
	locals, and use those as strtol output pointer, instead than doing
	invalid casts to from 'const char **' to 'char **'.
	(_initialize_demangle): Remove cast.
	* i386-tdep.c (i386_stap_parse_special_token): : Add 'char *'
	locals, and use those as strtol output pointer, instead than doing
	invalid casts to from 'const char **' to 'char **'.
	* solib-dsbt.c (dsbt_get_initial_loadmaps): Remove 'gdb_byte**'
	casts.
	* stap-probe.c (stap_parse_register_operand)
	(stap_parse_single_operand): Likewise.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
