Description
The functions that create an entity (thread, semaphore, etc.), take the entity's name as CHAR*.
I believe that, as the name isn't likely to change, the constness of the name (in the structures and the parameters) would be a nice to have feature.
But the reason of the request is that, while it is allowed in "C" to pass a constant string to a "char *" parameter, in C++ (starting from C++11) it is not allowed to pass a string literal (constant) to a "char *" parameter (ISO C++ forbids converting a string constant to 'CHAR *').
The latter forces the user (interfacing a C++ application with ThreadX) to const-cast the name of the entity, something like:
tx_thread_create(&thread1, const_cast<char*>("Thread name"),....);
which is ugly and, above all, not recommended by many coding standards.
I'd like to know your opinion.
Thanks for your attention.
