A repro case for "ld: warning: -fwritable-strings not compatible with literal
CF/NSString" warning
Hi,
I am trying to implement a program that uses fsevent library on macosx.
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Conceptual/FSEvents_ProgGuide/UsingtheFSEventsFramework/UsingtheFSEventsFramework.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005289-CH4-SW4
And I need some features (such as __thread) that is not supported neither by
outdated GCC from XCode, nor by Clang. The only option is GCC from MacPorts.
I installed GCC-4.6 from macports (gcc46 @4.6-20110226) and trying to compile a
fsevent sample (see it in the attachement).
When I try to compile it with gcc 4.6 it produces a weird warning:
$ gcc-mp-4.6 -framework CoreServices ld_warn.c
ld: warning: -fwritable-strings not compatible with literal CF/NSString in
/var/folders/++/++27Xk++6+0++4RjPqRgNE+-0Mw/-Tmp-//cc3B1vHB.o
The output binary looks OK.
When I try to compile the same sources either with gcc from XCode or clang - it
compiles without any warning:
$ clang -framework CoreServices ld_warn.c
It makes me think that this is an issue with GCC.
I also googled following clang bug that looks very similar
