Dumper should treat opaques as const until it comes to loading them, where it to uncast unconst explicitly. This can as well go into 21.4, as it suppresses a bunch of warnings when compiling dumper.c... Well, a bunch of exactly two warnings, to be specific. -kkm 2001-05-03 Kirill 'Big K' Katsnelson <kkm(a)dtmx.com&gt; * lisp.h: (dump_add_opaque): make varaddress parameter const. * dumper.c (struct pdump_opaque): make varaddress const.
