            Bug ID: 21486
           Summary: missing const when comparing C++ object files
           Product: libabigail
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: default
          Assignee: dodji at redhat dot com
          Reporter: woodard at redhat dot com
                CC: libabigail at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

Doing some introspection on libabigail itself with different compilers it flags
this error:

  [C]'function void abigail::dump(abigail::ir::translation_unit_sptr,
std::ostream&, bool)' at abg-writer.cc:4091:1 has some indirect sub-type
changes:
    parameter 1 of type 'typedef abigail::ir::translation_unit_sptr' changed:
      entity changed from 'typedef abigail::ir::translation_unit_sptr' to
'const abigail::ir::translation_unit_sptr'
      type size hasn't changed
    parameter 3 of type 'bool' changed:
      entity changed from 'bool' to 'const bool'
      type size hasn't changed

The function definition does seem to have a const:
void
dump(const translation_unit_sptr t, std::ostream& o, const bool annotate)
{
  if (t)
    dump(*t, o, annotate);
}


digging through the readelf output it looks like it is a libabigail bug:

GCC's debug-info looks correct:
