为什么 XDrawString 不接受“const char *”?
查看 X11 中 XDrawString 的声明,为什么
int XDrawString(Display *display, Drawable d, GC gc,
int x, int y, char *string, int length);
第 6 个参数是类型“char *”而不是“const char *”? 绘制字符串需要修改它吗? 我见过很多人们传递常量字符串的例子; 那不安全吗?
looking at the declaration for XDrawString from X11, it is
int XDrawString(Display *display, Drawable d, GC gc,
int x, int y, char *string, int length);
How come the 6th argument is type "char *" instead of "const char *"? Does drawing the string require modifying it? I've seen lots of examples where people pass in constant strings; is that unsafe?

要么是因为该函数自
const
之前就已存在,要么是因为设计 API 的人难以跟上。Either because the function has been around since before
const
or because those who designed the API have troubles keeping up.在我的两个系统(Mac OS X v10.4.11 和带有 libx11-dev 2:1.1.5-2ubuntu1.1 的 Ubuntu)上,我的 X11 标头将其声明为
const
。 来自/usr/include/X11/Xlib.h
:并且
_Xconst
被#define
'd为const
在 X11/Xfuncproto.h 中。On both of my systems (Mac OS X v10.4.11 and Ubuntu with libx11-dev 2:1.1.5-2ubuntu1.1), my X11 headers have it declared as
const
. From/usr/include/X11/Xlib.h
:And
_Xconst
is#define
'd to beconst
inX11/Xfuncproto.h
.我从未见过任何表明 XDrawString 修改传递给它的参数的内容。 这些低级 X API 非常古老,可以追溯到 80 年代中期。 很可能当时人们在标记不断的争论时不太严格。
I've never seen anything to suggest that XDrawString modifies the argument passed to it. Those low-level X APIs are very old, dating to the mid-80s. It's very likely people were a bit less rigorous in marking constant arguments as such back then.
