ISO/IEC 9899, section 6.5.3.2, §1: "The operand of the unary & operator shall be either a function designator, the result of a [] or unary * operator, or an lvalue that designates an object that is not a bit-field and is not declared with the register storage-class specifier." and section 6.5.1, §4: "A string literal is a primary expression. It is an lvalue with type as detailed in 6.4.5." So this is a bug indeed. I see how to fix this (create a new temporary variable to hold the string and return the address of this variable) but I have no idea when I'll have time to fix this. Probably not before two months, sadly. If you feel like trying to do it, I'd be glad to help you with any question you might have.
