Hi,
I started to have a look at the new APIs in snapshot 1.9.2 for the Ada
binding.
Aren't some 'const' missing ?
For example, shouldn't the following functions:
cairo_public int
cairo_region_num_rectangles (cairo_region_t *region);
cairo_public void
cairo_region_get_rectangle (cairo_region_t *region,
int nth_rectangle,
cairo_rectangle_int_t *rectangle);
be declared like this:
cairo_public int
cairo_region_num_rectangles (*const* cairo_region_t *region);
cairo_public void
cairo_region_get_rectangle (*const* cairo_region_t *region,
int nth_rectangle,
cairo_rectangle_int_t *rectangle);
???
The same question applies to:
- cairo_region_is_empty
- cairo_region_contains_rectangle
- cairo_region_contains_point
- cairo_region_status
- cairo_region_get_extents
And also to:
cairo_public cairo_status_t
cairo_region_subtract (cairo_region_t *dst, *<const>* cairo_region_t
*other);
cairo_public cairo_status_t
cairo_region_intersect (cairo_region_t *dst, *<const>* cairo_region_t
*other);
cairo_public cairo_status_t
cairo_region_union (cairo_region_t *dst, <*const>* cairo_region_t
*other);
Or do you consider that this is only "functionally" true but that the
implementation could
do some internal stuffs (caching results, ...) that require that *const*
can not be used ?
