Subject: | Invalid use of const pointer? |
Date: | Fri, 7 Jan 2022 18:28:48 -0500 |
Hello, While examining the source code for make, I see something suspicious with a const pointer. Line 3094 of read.c is: char *userend = strchr (name + 1, '/'); The name parameter is a const pointer, so the overloaded version of strchr that takes a const pointer as the first parameter should also return a const pointer. But userend is not a const pointer and is used to modify the string later in the code. I’m a bit surprised the compiler allows this and I realize this could just be a misunderstanding of something on my part. Does anyone else find this construct suspicious?
