Re: even only reading file modifies the file object. I mentioned this issue in #2809 (comment) relating a similar problem reading raster files. |

Addressing -Wdeprecated-non-prototype compiler warnings and adding missing prototypes in
lib/vector/Vlib/read.c, reveals API errors in lib functions passingstruct Map_info *as const. Reading vector files does in fact modify the Map_info struct, therefore theconstqualifier is not technically correct. Correcting this API in lib cascades through quite a few files, but functionally this doesn't change anything.Alternative to this may be to separate the file reading variables to a separate "read object", but that will modify the API in a very drastic way and would be anything but trivial.
