Dear libvorbis maintainers,
I was looking at the implementation of the ov_fopen function. Currently, the
implementation is:
int ov_fopen(char *path,OggVorbis_File *vf) {
int ret;
FILE *f = fopen(path,"rb");
if(!f) return -1;
ret = ov_open(f,vf,NULL,0);
if(ret) fclose(f);
return ret;
}
As can clearly be seen, char *path is used merely to open the file
f. Since fopen requires only a const char * (it doesn't muck around
with the path variable), ov_fopen should also have no business in
modifying the path variable. Therefore, I'd request that you change
the declaration of ov_fopen to:
int ov_fopen(const char *path,OggVorbis_File *vf);
to be more "correct" in terms of C style.
Thanks.
Kumar
