http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2818 Summary: Pointer parameters in core.memory should be const(void)*. Product: D Version: 2.027 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: DMD AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com ReportedBy: dsimcha yahoo.com In core.memory, functions that do not affect the validity or contents of the underlying memory regions should have signatures of ReturnType function(const void*), not ReturnType function(void*). These include GC.sizeOf(), GC.addrOf(), and GC.realloc(). There is simply no reason why these would be unsafe to call on pointers to const/immutable objects, and as such, this should not require an explicit cast. --
