Subject: bug#23758: 25.1.50; Bogus warning from -Wwrite-strings
Date: Sun, 12 Jun 2016 15:56:32 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <83ef94f9-6034-6ac3-c9f8-ecb5793afc02@cornell.edu> (raw)
I'm getting an "assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer
target type" warning in the Cygwin-w32 build because of the following
code in w32fns.c:
char *type_CtrlAlt = NULL;
[...]
type_CtrlAlt = "bB";
This warning goes away if I remove -Wwrite-strings from the enabled
compiler warnings. Is this a compiler bug, or is there really something
wrong with the code above that should warrant a warning?
In GNU Emacs 25.1.50.11 (x86_64-unknown-cygwin)
