           Summary: HTOD leaves out const when translating C headers
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: htod
        AssignedTo: nobody@puremagic.com

test.h:
void foo(const char *str);

$ htod -hc test.h

test.d:
/* Converted to D from test.h by htod */
module test;
extern (C):
void  foo(char *str);

This is a big problem because now this function can't be passed a string via toStringz, or even a string literal which is implicitly zero-terminated.

This is because there is only one version of htod, for D1 and D2, and D1 does not have const.  I think the fix would be for htod to emit 'in' instead of const in C function prototypes.
