[Bug c/18166] New: top const stripped in structs for C

[mrs at apple dot com]

The following doesn't produce accurate dbx stabs information on powerpc-apple-darwin:

struct ssc { char * const ptr; };
struct ss { char * ptr; };

int main ()
{
  struct ssc xssc;
  struct ss xss;
}

(gdb) ptype xss
type = struct ss {
    char *ptr;
}
(gdb) ptype xssc
type = struct ssc {
    char *ptr;
}

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2002-10/msg01872.html has a wrong patch.  The 
corresponding 
C++ code works as expected.
