Re: const fb_{fillrect,copyarea,image}?

Wouldn't it make sense to make the fb_{fillrect,copyarea,image} parameters of
the fb_ops.fb_{fillrect,copyarea,image}() operations const? This would protect
us against side effects when reusing the fb_{fillrect,copyarea,image} structs
without reinitializing their contents (as is currently done by the logo drawing
code in fbcon_show_logo() on SMP).Where is this exactly?
Of course this means that we have to modify the clipping code, which currently just modifies the passed structure.
:-( That is done to prevent someone from passing data that is larger than the framebuffer. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com
