[PATCH] lib stringc cleanup restore useful memmove const

From: Paul Jackson
Date: Tue Oct 25 2005 - 09:16:44 EST


A couple of (char *) casts removed in a previous cleanup patch
in lib/string.c:memmove() were actually useful, as they
suppressed a couple of warnings:

assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type

Fix by declaring the local variable const in the first place,
so casts aren't needed to strip the const qualifier.
