gcc version 3.2.2 20021212 (Debian prerelease)
>Description:
[ Reported to the Debian BTS as report #126411.
Please CC [EMAIL PROTECTED] on replies.
Log of report can be found at http://bugs.debian.org/126411 ]
gcc generates a warning for the following test program, that I believe
is inappropriate. The warning is that it cannot implicitly cast from
(foo *) to (const foo *). This occurs when foo is an array type. The
sample program compiles without warnings if you remove the "const"
keyword, or if you remove the [16] making foo an array.
This occurs in gcc 2.95.x upto gcc-3_3-branch, no check on HEAD
This is a problem for me since I normally compile with -Werror and
make rigorous use of const. I can make explicit casts as a temporary
fix, but this makes my code ugly ;)
typedef char foo[16];
void bar (const foo *xyzzy)
{}
int main(void)
{
foo bozz;
bar (&bozz);
return 0;
}
