As mentioned in the previous patch, I grepped for "\*\*) &" and found
one hit in completer.c.
I was about to post a patch that simply made
current_demangling_style_string const, and cast away constness at the
xfree site. However, looking deeper, it seem to be there's a lot of
dead code in the file.
First, all external callers of set_demangling_style are found in the
stabs reader, commented out for over 12 years:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2000-12/msg00214.html
I don't think it's likely we'll ever make the older mangling schemes
work for stabs. If we do, we can rediscuss the approach then.
Then, set_demangling_command has special handling for unknown
demangling styles, but "set demangle-style" is an enum command, and
with those, the user can only specify a known enumeration value, by
design:
(gdb) set demangle-style gangnam-style
Undefined item: "gangnam-style".
This patch removes all that dead code, then makes
current_demangling_style_string point to an element of
demangling_style_names, as the FIXME suggests, and then makes
current_demangling_style_string, removing the need for the 'const char
**' cast.

* dbxread.c (read_ofile_symtab, process_one_symbol): Remove
commented out code.
* demangle.c (current_demangling_style_string): Make it const.

Remove all handling of unknown styles. Set
'current_demangling_style_string' to an element of the

element of the demangling_style_names array that corresponds to
the default demangling style. Remove FIXME note. Don't call
set_demangling_style.

This fixes the followin error when HAVE_LINUX_BTRACE is not defined:

This is sort of a continuation of Keith's parse_exp_1 constification
patch. It started out by undoing these bits:
@@ -754,9 +754,12 @@ validate_actionline (char **line, struct
tmp_p = p;
for (loc = t->base.loc; loc; loc = loc->next)
{
- p = tmp_p;
- exp = parse_exp_1 (&p, loc->address,
+ const char *q;
+
+ q = tmp_p;
+ exp = parse_exp_1 (&q, loc->address,
block_for_pc (loc->address), 1);
+ p = (char *) q;
and progressively making more things const upwards, fixing fallout,
rinse repeat, until GDB built again (--enable-targets=all).
That ended up constifying lookup_cmd/add_cmd and (lots of) friends,
and the completers.
I didn't try to constify the command hooks themselves, because I know
upfront there are commands that write to the command string argument,
and I think I managed to stop at a nice non-hacky split point already.
I think the only non-really-super-obvious changes are
tracepoint.c:validate_actionline, and tracepoint.c:trace_dump_actions.
The rest is just mostly about 'char *' => 'const char *', 'char **'=>
'const char **', and the occasional (e.g., deprecated_cmd_warning)
case of 'char **'=> 'const char *', where/when I noticed that nothing
actually cares about the pointer to pointer output.

In a nutshell, casts between 'char **' <-> 'unsigned char **' and
'char **' <-> 'const char **' are invalid.
I grepped for "\*\*) &" and found these. There's another one in
demangle.c, but I've split fixing that one to a separate patch.
I think the ada_decode_symbol change is perhaps the one that could be
surprising. The function's description has this comment, which makes
things much clearer:
The GSYMBOL parameter is "mutable" in the C++ sense: logically
const, but nevertheless modified to a semantically equivalent form
when a decoded name is cached in it. */
const char *
ada_decode_symbol (const struct general_symbol_info *gsymbol)
With that out of the way, I think the patch ends up being pretty
obvious.

GDB treats the identifiers 'if', 'thread', and 'task' unconditionally
as expression delimiters in Ada mode, which is correct for 'if' and 'task',
but wrong for 'thread' in cases such as
print thread
Borrowing from c-exp.y, we observe that 'thread' must be followed by
numerals, whereas identifiers never are and treat them as delimiters
only in that case.
In the process, the current also refactors and incidentally fixes the
code for rewinding the input to before the delimiting tokens. For
example, the code
watch expr if i > 2
fails because the input is only rewound to just before the 'i',
leaving the 'if' as part of the expression (and thus making the
rest look like trailing junk rather than a conditional clause).

Casts between 'char **' <-> 'unsigned char **' and 'char **' <-> const
char **' are actually invalid:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2013-03/msg00118.html
In a nutshell, char (and variants) can alias anything, but pointers to
chars get no special treatment (cf. C99/N1256, 6.5/7).
Turns out older gcc's actually warn/complain on these constructs,
though newer one's don't:
