The need for it is obvious, if you look at the declaration he patched out: readline() is actually declared (in readline.h) as taking a _const_ char * parameter, while the (superfluous) declaration in the source had just a "char *" parameter, which is of course an incompatible redeclaration. The patch is correct (or rather, it would be more correct if it simply deleted the line). -- Shankar. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
