[Unbound-users] passing string literals in C++

[Ondřej Surý]

Hi Wouter,

could you just check the availability of __cplusplus >= 199711L and or C99
support (either by using macro or from autoconf) and use something like:

#ifdef C99_or_CXX11_pseudo_macro
#define UB_CONST const
#else
#define UB_CONST
#endif

and use:

int ub_function(UB_CONST char *);

?
