const parameters and the JEDI DX headers

[Useless Hacker]

I have always understood that const was basically the same as var, in that it passed parameters by reference. However, in the JEDI directx headers, often, for example:

DWORD dwFlags

has been translated to:
[pascal]const dwFlags: LongWord[/pascal]
whereas I would have translated it to:
[pascal]dwFlags: LongWord[/pascal]

Am I missing something?

Const is not automatic passing reference. Only if the used type is bigger than 4 (or 8 ?) Bytes. Therefore it doesn't matter if theres const or not const.
