More invalid pointer to pointer conversions.
As a follow up to:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-03/msg00449.html
In a nutshell, casts between 'char **' <-> 'unsigned char **' and
'char **' <-> 'const char **' are invalid.
I grepped for "\*\*) &" and found these. There's another one in
demangle.c, but I've split fixing that one to a separate patch.
I think the ada_decode_symbol change is perhaps the one that could be
surprising. The function's description has this comment, which makes
things much clearer:
The GSYMBOL parameter is "mutable" in the C++ sense: logically
const, but nevertheless modified to a semantically equivalent form
when a decoded name is cached in it. */
const char *
ada_decode_symbol (const struct general_symbol_info *gsymbol)
With that out of the way, I think the patch ends up being pretty
obvious.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.

2013-03-13 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* ada-lang.c (ada_decode_symbol): Cast away constness of GSYMBOL
rather than casting 'const char * const *' to 'const char **'.
* ada-lex.l (processInt): Make "trailer" local const. Remove
'const char **' cast.
* arm-linux-tdep.c (arm_stap_parse_special_token): Add 'char *'
locals, and use those as strtol output pointer, instead than doing
invalid casts to from 'const char **' to 'char **'.
(_initialize_demangle): Remove cast.
* i386-tdep.c (i386_stap_parse_special_token): : Add 'char *'
locals, and use those as strtol output pointer, instead than doing
invalid casts to from 'const char **' to 'char **'.
* solib-dsbt.c (dsbt_get_initial_loadmaps): Remove 'gdb_byte**'
casts.
* stap-probe.c (stap_parse_register_operand)
(stap_parse_single_operand): Likewise.
