From 6a0ed91e361a93ee1efb4c20c4967024ed2a8dd7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Artem Bityutskiy Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2007 23:43:14 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] hexdump: use const notation Trivial fix: mark the buffer to hexdump as const so callers could avoid casting their const buffers when calling print_hex_dump(). The patch is really trivial and I suggest to consider it as a fix (it fixes GCC warnings) and push it to current tree.
