[jira] [Created] (AVRO-960) String Const Correctness in Avro-C

String Const Correctness in Avro-C
----------------------------------

                 Key: AVRO-960
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-960
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: c
    Affects Versions: 1.6.1
            Reporter: Lucas Martin-King
            Priority: Minor


I notice that avro_value_set_string() takes in a char *, not a const char *, and some of the the lower level functions it uses do take a const char *.

I would presume that the library does not modify user input string data.

Can we fix this by maintaining const char * all the way up to the user API?

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 1.6.2

Looks good.  And this change is backwards compatible, since everything that compiled before still compiles now.  Committed to SVN trunk.
