59 * Removing the const attribute from "arg" is the best of two
60 * evils here. If the event->ev_arg member is made const, then
61 * it affects a great many users of the task/event subsystem
62 * which are not passing in an "arg" which starts its life as
63 * const. Changing isc_event_allocate() and isc_task_onshutdown()
64 * to not have "arg" prototyped as const (which is quite legitimate,
65 * because neither of those functions modify arg) can cause
66 * compiler whining anytime someone does want to use a const
67 * arg that they themselves never modify, such as with
68 * gcc -Wwrite-strings and using a string "arg".
