[Zlib-devel] [PATCH] Usage of const/z_const, with and without ZLIB_CONST

[Daniel Richard G.]

This patch, against git master, attempts to sort out usage of const/z_const
in the library. When compiling with GCC's -Wcast-qual, it reduces the number
of "cast discards '__attribute__((const))' qualifier from pointer target
type" warnings to the minimum, in both the ZLIB_CONST #define'd and
#undef'ed cases.

There are a handful of places in which casting to non-const is unavoidable,
at least without refactoring, but the patch picks off all the low-hanging
fruit. Questions and comments welcome.
