--- Comment #2 from Raymond Connell <rayconnell at usa dot net> --- Thanks for responding so quickly. Sorry for the false alarm. I have no excuse. I should have looked at the C++ versions more closely.

Since the first one returns a const char* which is not convertible to char*, the program is incorrect. Unfortunately, the caret in the error makes this hard to see. Current trunk does only slightly better: error: invalid conversion from ‘const char*’ to ‘char*’ [-fpermissive] char *pSpc = strpbrk(tstStr, " "); ~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~ That might be worth raising a separate bug for (if one doesn't already exist), but this one is invalid.
