Hi Alex,

> Is ACE_const_cast missing in ACE6?

Yes, these were all removed ages ago, as per this entry from the
ACE_ROOT/NEWS file:

USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.4.3 and ACE-5.4.4
====================================================

...

. Removed the usage of the ACE_x_cast macros, we are using the C++ casts
from now on. The ACE_x_cast macros are deprecated and will be removed
after the x.5.1 release

Thanks,

Doug

ACE_wrappers/bin/ACE-casts-convert for a shell script that replaces all
ACE_*_cast macros with their C++ alternative. Make sure you backup
things before you run it and validate its output.
