How to get rid of `deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’` warnings in GCC?

Question

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*’ Obviously, the correct way to fix this is to find every declaration like char *s = "constant string"; or function call like: void foo(char *s); foo("constant string"); and make them `const char` pointers. However, that would 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 with `-werror`, so I need some way to stifle these warnings. How can I do that?

Answer 1

type cast to (char *)

EX.

void DebugLog( char * debugMsg)

.....

DebugLog( (char *) " This is a test ");
