           Summary: Pointer parameters in core.memory should be
                    const(void)*.
           Product: D
           Version: 2.027
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: dsimcha@yahoo.com


In core.memory, functions that do not affect the validity or contents of the
underlying memory regions should have signatures of ReturnType function(const
void*), not ReturnType function(void*). These include GC.sizeOf(), GC.addrOf(),
and GC.realloc(). There is simply no reason why these would be unsafe to call
on pointers to const/immutable objects, and as such, this should not require an
explicit cast.

This was fixed a long time ago.
