[PATCH v3 13/27] object-file: make `buf` parameter of `index_mem()` a constant

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Jun 3, 2024, 09:39 UTC
Message-ID
<a1e8e776417c2c754ba5683f8931f520adc47b02.1717402403.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1717402403.git.ps@pks.im>

The `buf` parameter of `index_mem()` is a non-constant string. This will break once we enable `-Wwrite-strings` because we also pass constants from at least one callsite.

Adapt the parameter to be a constant. As we cannot free the buffer without casting now, this also requires us to move the lifetime of the nested buffer around.
