const gchar **, const gchar * const * or gchar * const *?

Richard.
Comment 2 Robert Staudinger 2009-11-12 08:49:23 UTC 
I'd say for conforming with most of the g ecosystem code "const gchar **" would probably be most appropriate (not to say the most correct).
Comment 3 Richard Hughes 2009-11-12 09:40:53 UTC 
const gchar ** seems to make the build explode when you pass a gchar** into a const gchar** function. I guess const GStrv would fix things in this regard -- what do you think about that?
Comment 4 Robert Staudinger 2009-11-12 10:13:07 UTC 
Oh i didn't realise that.

Maybe it's better to just keep it non-const instead of opening that can of worms.

Sorry for the impersonal message, and fingers crossed your issue no longer happens. Thanks.
