Jeremy Hylton	af68c874a6	Add const to several API functions that take char *. ... In C++, it's an error to pass a string literal to a char* function without a const_cast(). Rather than require every C++ extension module to put a cast around string literals, fix the API to state the const-ness. I focused on parts of the API where people usually pass literals: PyArg_ParseTuple() and friends, Py_BuildValue(), PyMethodDef, the type slots, etc. Predictably, there were a large set of functions that needed to be fixed as a result of these changes. The most pervasive change was to make the keyword args list passed to PyArg_ParseTupleAndKewords() to be a const char *kwlist[]. One cast was required as a result of the changes: A type object mallocs the memory for its tp_doc slot and later frees it. PyTypeObject says that tp_doc is const char *; but if the type was created by type_new(), we know it is safe to cast to char *.	2005-12-10 18:50:16 +00:00
Guido van Rossum	aa86e35c52	- bool() called without arguments now returns False rather than ... raising an exception. This is consistent with calling the constructors for the other builtin types -- called without argument they all return the false value of that type.
