gcc -Wcast-qual turns up a number of instances of casting away constness of pointers. Some of these can be safely modified, by either:
Adding the const to the type cast, as in:
- return _PyUnicode_FromUCS1((unsigned char*)s, size);
+ return _PyUnicode_FromUCS1((const unsigned char*)s, size);
or, Removing the cast entirely, because it's not necessary (but probably was at one time), as in:
- PyDTrace_FUNCTION_ENTRY((char *)filename, (char *)funcname, lineno);
+ PyDTrace_FUNCTION_ENTRY(filename, funcname, lineno);
These changes will not change code, but they will make it much easier to check for errors in consts

bits shared by the bytesobject and unicodeobject implementations (and
possibly other modules, in a not too distant future).
the stuff in here is included into relevant places; see the individual
source files for details.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
the following defines used by the different modules:
STRINGLIB_CHAR
the type used to hold a character (char or Py_UNICODE)
STRINGLIB_EMPTY
a PyObject representing the empty string, only to be used if
STRINGLIB_MUTABLE is 0
Py_ssize_t STRINGLIB_LEN(PyObject*)
returns the length of the given string object (which must be of the
right type)
PyObject* STRINGLIB_NEW(STRINGLIB_CHAR*, Py_ssize_t)
creates a new string object
STRINGLIB_CHAR* STRINGLIB_STR(PyObject*)
returns the pointer to the character data for the given string
object (which must be of the right type)
int STRINGLIB_CHECK_EXACT(PyObject *)
returns true if the object is an instance of our type, not a subclass
STRINGLIB_MUTABLE
must be 0 or 1 to tell the cpp macros in stringlib code if the object
being operated on is mutable or not
