Package: g++-4.2
Version: 4.2.1-4
Severity: minor
Hi. Sometime in the last month or so, g++ has started spitting out at me a
bunch of "warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’"
messages. This apparently comes from -Wwrite-strings. However, according to the
man/info pages, this option shouldn't be turned on unless explicitly requrested
(not even -Wall turns it on). My makefile certainly certainly isn't turning it
on, and I don't get this message when compiling in Fedora or OS/X. I've looked
the the changelog.Debian and haven't seen anything to explain this. I can turn
it off with a CXXFLAGS=-Wno-write-strings, but it's a pain to remeber this each
time so I'd really appreciate it if you could fix this. :)
Thanks,
