a const pointer really means that "the data pointed to by this pointer won't change", and that is certainly true of talloc(). The fact that some behind-the-scenes meta-data can change doesn't matter from the point of view of const. this fixes a number of const warnings caused by const data structures being passed as talloc contexts. That will no longer generate a warning. also changed the talloc leak reporting option from --leak-check to --leak-report, as all it does is generate a report on exit. A new --leak-report-full option has been added that shows the complete tree of memory allocations, which is is quite useful in tracking things down. NOTE: I find it quite useful to insert talloc_report_full(ptr, stderr) calls at strategic points in the code while debugging memory allocation problems, particularly before freeing a major context (such as the connection context). This allows you to see if that context has been accumulating too much data, such as per-request data, which should have been freed when the request finished.
