[Swig-user] Can't compile Python wrappers with VC 8.0

[Anton D. <ant...@jh...>]

Hello,

I tried to compile some Python wrappers generated with SWIG 1.3.29 using
the Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0 compiler (part of ,net 2005) and ran into a
couple of issues re. const char *.  The following two functions are
problematic:

SWIG_Python_ConvertFunctionPtr has:
char *doc = ...

SWIG_Python_FixMethods has:
char *c = ...
char *name = ...

These three lines can't compile because VC++ complains of "constness"
issues.  Adding the keyword "const" seems to solve the issue.

Anton
