Consider declaring the name of the entities as "CHAR const *" instead of "CHAR *"

[pirgia]

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.

Fully support this. It should have been done from the day 1.
