Gcc info page:
`const'
Many functions do not examine any values except their arguments,
and have no effects except the return value. Basically this is
just slightly more strict class than the `pure' attribute above,
since function is not allowed to read global memory.
So, it seems byte swapping functions should be __attribute__((const))
Here is a patch:
replace obsolete __const__ qualifiers on function return type with
__attribute__((const)).
It also adds missing __attribute__((const)) for
include/asm-i386/byteorder.h:___arch__swab64()
Linus, please apply.
Nikita.
