[PATCHv3] build: work around super-old readline.h

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Ryota Ozaki <ozaki.ryota@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch shuts up the following warning of clang
on Mac OS X:

  virsh.c:2761:22: error: assigning to 'char *' from 'const char [6]' discards qualifiers
      [-Werror,-Wincompatible-pointer-types-discards-qualifiers]
      rl_readline_name = "virsh";
                       ^ ~~~~~~~

The warning happens because rl_readline_name on Mac OS X comes
from an old readline header that still uses 'char *', while it
is 'const char *' in readline 4.2 (April 2001) and newer.

Tested on Mac OS X 10.8.5 (clang-500.2.75) and Fedora 19 (gcc 4.8.1).

Pushing this version.  Diff from v2 is solely in the commit
message and code comment, and I already expressed ack to
