How to get rid of 'deprecated conversion from String constant to 'Char * ''' warnings in GC

2013-02-26 wcdj

Problem:

So I'm working on an exceedingly large codebase, and recently upgraded to GCC 4.3, which now triggers this warning:

Warning: deprecated conversion from String constant to 'Char *'

Obviusly, the correct way to fix this is to find every declaration like

 
Char *S= "Constant string";
 

Or function call like:

VoidFoo(Char *S);Foo("Constant string");
 

And make themConst charPointers. However, that wocould mean touching 564 files, minimum, which is not a task I wish to perform at this point in time. The problem right now is that I'm running-Werror, So I need some way to stifle
These warnings. How can I do that?

I believe passing-Wno-Write-stringsTo GCC will suppress this warning.
