G_CONST_RETURN

[Neil Zanella <nzanella gmail com>]

Hello,

When looking at the GTK API I see several places that use G_CONST_RETURN.
What are these macros there? I cast their effect away with casts, but I am not
sure whether that is the right thing to do. I wonder whether someone can
elaborate on this (not sure why a function would have to return a
const value any more).

Thanks,

Neil
