At least on Windows, that's not entirely true. I compile with very pedantic switches. I had to add "-Wno-missing-prototypes -Wno-missing-declarations -Wno-redundant-decls -Wno-pointer-sign" to my CFLAGS because of the sheer number of warnings. Even so, I get 322 cases of *"initialization discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type*", and leaving these aside, also this (# of warns, warning message) 14 assignment discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default] 14 passing argument 1 of 'w32_getenv' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default] 5 return discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default] 5 function might be possible candidate for 'ms_printf' format attribute [-Wsuggest-attribute=format] 4 pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic [-Wpointer-arith] 3 format '%d' expects argument of type 'int', but argument 3 has type 'printmax_t' [-Wformat=] 3 passing argument 1 of 'set_user_model' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default] 2 nested extern declaration of '_execvp' [-Wnested-externs] 2 passing argument 2 of 'CreateProcessA' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default] 2 format '%d' expects argument of type 'int', but argument 2 has type 'DWORD' [-Wformat=] 2 unused variable 'status' [-Wunused-variable] 2 passing argument 2 of 'otf_features' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default] 2 ordered comparison of pointer with integer zero [-Wextra] 2 implicit conversion from 'float' to 'double' when passing argument to function [-Wdouble-promotion] 1 unused variable 'terminal' [-Wunused-variable] 1 'dummy' defined but not used [-Wunused-variable] 1 macro "g_type_init" is not used [-Wunused-macros] 1 unused variable 'st' [-Wunused-variable] 1 macro "NOMINMAX" is not used [-Wunused-macros] 1 nested extern declaration of 'is_slow_fs' [-Wnested-externs] 1 function might be candidate for attribute 'noreturn' [-Wsuggest-attribute=noreturn] 1 variable 'face' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] 1 'timeout' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] 1 implicit conversion from 'float' to 'double' to match other operand of binary expression [-Wdouble-promotion] 1 macro "x_display_info" is not used [-Wunused-macros] 1 macro "OFFSET_TO_RVA" is not used [-Wunused-macros] 1 unused variable 'oldset' [-Wunused-variable] 1 macro "DATAGRAM_CHAN_P" is not used [-Wunused-macros] 1 unused variable 'size' [-Wunused-variable] 1 control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type] 1 macro "_ANONYMOUS_UNION" is not used [-Wunused-macros] 1 unused variable 'address' [-Wunused-variable] 1 unknown conversion type character 'e' in format [-Wformat=] 1 unused variable 'dpyinfo' [-Wunused-variable] 1 nested extern declaration of 'g_b_init_compare_string_w' [-Wnested-externs] 1 nested extern declaration of '_resetstkoflw' [-Wnested-externs] 1 passing argument 1 of 'find_section' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default] 1 passing argument 1 of 'w32_get_rdb_resource' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default] 1 unused variable 'n_to_read' [-Wunused-variable] 1 macro "WTMP_FILE" is not used [-Wunused-macros] 1 nested extern declaration of 'mainCRTStartup' [-Wnested-externs] 1 variable 'f' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] 1 macro "DefaultDepthOfScreen" is not used [-Wunused-macros] 1 macro "RVA_TO_PTR" is not used [-Wunused-macros] 1 macro "gnutls_x509_crt_get_signature" is not used [-Wunused-macros] 1 variable 'ctty' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] 1 nested extern declaration of 'menubar_selection_callback' [-Wnested-externs] 1 macro "MAX_ENCODED_BYTES" is not used [-Wunused-macros]
