Again, this feels very much like treating the symptoms, not actually
fixing the real issue.

It's COMMAND_LINE itself that should have been fixed up, not that one use of it.

Because the only reason you didn't get a warning from later uses is
that 'strcmp()' is doing compiler-specific magic. You're just delaying
the inevitable warnings about the other uses of that thing.


Makes sense. I'll change the patch accordingly.

Thanks,
Guenter
