[RFA 1/4] Constify LEXPTR

- Subject: [RFA 1/4] Constify LEXPTR
- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
Hi,
I am submitting four patches which aim to constify
parser-defs.h/parse.c's LEXPTR.
This patch is broken into four relatively simple patches, each building
on the previous patch, typically eliminating a temporary cast to/from
const. By the end, all of these temporary casts will be eliminated. [I'm
using the solely as a way to make this more digestible.]
Sadly, this first patch is still relatively large. It makes lexptr
const, and adds temporary casts when dealing with struct stoken.ptr.
This will be the subject of the next patch.
I know maintainers have little choice, but even so, I would appreciate
an additional pair of eyes on this for newb mistakes. This stuff can get
a little mindless after a while.
Tested, regression-free, on x86_64-linux (Fedora 18) native and gdbserver.
Keith
