* doc/CmdCmplt.3: Applied Patch 585105 to fully CONST-ify
* doc/Concat.3: all remaining public interfaces of Tcl. * doc/CrtCommand.3: Notably, the parser no longer writes on * doc/CrtSlave.3: the string it is parsing, so it is no * doc/CrtTrace.3: longer necessary for Tcl_Eval() to be * doc/Eval.3: given a writable string. Also, the * doc/ExprLong.3: refactoring of the Tcl_*Var* routines * doc/LinkVar.3: by Miguel Sofer is included, so that the * doc/ParseCmd.3: "part1" argument for them no longer needs * doc/SetVar.3: to be writable either. * doc/TraceVar.3: * doc/UpVar.3: Compatibility support has been enhanced so * generic/tcl.decls that a #define of USE_NON_CONST will remove * generic/tcl.h all possible source incompatibilities with * generic/tclBasic.c the 8.3 version of the header file(s). * generic/tclCmdMZ.c The new #define of USE_COMPAT_CONST now does * generic/tclCompCmds.c what USE_NON_CONST used to do -- disable * generic/tclCompExpr.c only those new CONST's that introduce * generic/tclCompile.c irreconcilable incompatibilities. * generic/tclCompile.h * generic/tclDecls.h Several bugs are also fixed by this patch. * generic/tclEnv.c [Bugs 584051,580433] [Patches 585105,582429] * generic/tclEvent.c * generic/tclInt.decls * generic/tclInt.h * generic/tclIntDecls.h * generic/tclInterp.c * generic/tclLink.c * generic/tclObj.c * generic/tclParse.c * generic/tclParseExpr.c * generic/tclProc.c * generic/tclTest.c * generic/tclUtf.c * generic/tclUtil.c * generic/tclVar.c * mac/tclMacTest.c * tests/expr-old.test * tests/parseExpr.test * unix/tclUnixTest.c * unix/tclXtTest.c * win/tclWinTest.c
