Adding const to kernel to get scholarship

No, it should be used.

By the way, this board will probably not go anywhere, but it's there in case enough people really are sick of the degenerated state of Holla Forums.

I will chop your cock off you pseudo-intellectual nigger

Too bad that const does nothing as far as optimization goes. It's only the help you with warnings.

Will post later, got a huge gripe with dev environments to post about.

It's often considered to be noise that contributes to code churn in cases where it could be used but shouldn't be.

So? It is very likely to prevent bugs down the line, and improves readability. Linux makes a number of optimization sacrifices.
