>Description:
When trying to get the current editing mode from the editline
using the following code, it does not work:

const char *mode;
el_get(el, EL_EDITOR, &mode);
printf("mode = %s\n", mode);

mode is never modified.


>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Looking is el.c in the el_get function, EL_EDITOR has the following 
code:

case EL_EDITOR:
        rv = map_get_editor(el, (void *) &ret);
        break;

To fix the problem, I changed the above to (like the EL_TERMINAL case):

case EL_EDITOR:
        rv = map_get_editor(el, (const char **)ret);
        break;

I suspect the EL_PROMPT and EL_RPROMPT cases are broken too with the
(void *)&ret method.
