I plan to modify the hythread api so that it uses "const char*" for names of threads and monitors rather than the current "char*". Since the former is more appropriate and avoids errors (when using const strings) without appropriate casts on recent versions of gcc. (For instance, you can't build the federated build with -Dhy.no.thr=true with recent versions of gcc because of a warning treated as an error in jdktools/modules/jpda.)
I don't think this should cause any issues are implicit casting in the other direction is permitted without any warning/error. Regards, Mark.
