[PATCH] Const arguments

[tuan kuranes]

• Passing larger than 4-byte values by reference to avoid copy-on-move and temporary objects. ("PVS studio" can pinpoint/list all those automatically)

• const size_t* const is but a way to point for aliasing and therefore "restrict" optimisations and use. (themself leading to potential openmp "optimisations spot")

• "int getStuff(const size_t arg)" is more developper safeguard and code documentation than real perf. (preventing people using args as local vars and easing code reading, by pointing possible optimisation when code evolves)

• inlines are added and tested using profiling results (with very sleepy profiler).

patch

[Jorma Rebane]

This patch unfortunately doesn't really add any value besides littering the code with unnecessary const declarations.

I can understand "const std::string& ref = something->GetString();", but "const int var = 0;" everywhere doesn't really change anything.
