From: Mark Wooding <mdw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> GCC objects when you pass a `char **' where a `const char **' is wanted. The cast shuts the compiler up, and does the right thing generally. Signed-off-by: Mark Wooding <mdw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Unfortunately, the warning is fair enough. I can pass a `T' where someone was expecting a `const T', but that would mean that the callee was expecting a `char *const *'. --- git.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/git.c b/git.c index a547dbd..69df070 100644 --- a/git.c +++ b/git.c @@ -261,7 +261,7 @@ static int cmd_log(int argc, char **argv int show_parents = 0; const char *commit_prefix = "commit "; - argc = setup_revisions(argc, argv, &rev, "HEAD"); + argc = setup_revisions(argc, (const char **)argv, &rev, "HEAD"); while (1 < argc) { char *arg = argv[1]; if (!strncmp(arg, "--pretty", 8)) { - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
