Bug#476886: libglib2.0-dev: g_file_{in,out}put_query_info{,_async} consting

[Florian Ragwitz]

Package: libglib2.0-dev
Version: 2.16.3-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

the following functions take the file attribute query string as a char
pointer. However they shouldn't, and in fact don't, modify it. Therefor
I think it should be declared as const char * just like
g_file_query_info and g_file_query_info_async do it.

  GFileInfo *g_file_input_stream_query_info (GFileInputStream *stream, char *attributes, GCancellable *cancellable, GError **error);
  void g_file_input_stream_query_info_async (GFileInputStream *stream, char *attributes, int io_priority, GCancellable *cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, gpoiner user_data);
  GFileInfo *g_file_output_stream_query_info (GFileOutputStream *stream, char *attributes, GCancellable *cancellable, GError **error);
  void g_file_input_stream_query_info_async (GFileOutputStream *stream, char *attributes, int io_priority, GCancellable *cancellable, GAsyncReadyCallback callback, gpoiner user_data);


TIA,
Flo
