Description Shinya Kawanaka 2011-06-28 00:03:35 PDT
AtomicString::show() and WTFString::show are not const, so we have to use const_cast to call them occasionally.
These methods should be const.

So you should remove such const_casts in this patch. Otherwise, the patch has no benefit.

Since this is a debug feature, there is no code to call show() in Sources (maybe). However, when doing something like printf-debug, the lack of const is painful.
