It may be nice to make the C++ new_from_memory_copy data pointer const, as the underlying code calls vips_image_new_from_memory_copy, where the data pointer is already const, see . It then clearly expresses that the copy keeps its fingers off from the provided data pointer. Just as an suggestion, as I know have to perform a const_cast in our own code.

With this requested change, it also makes clear that new_from_memory (without copy) uses the provided data buffer (with responsibility to the caller for memory management).

I'm not sure whether I posted this question in the right category.
