I can find no way to call execve that actually compiles without warnings.
If I use: char *argv[2]; argv[0] = _PATH_BSHELL; argv[1] = NULL; execve(_PATH_BSHELL,argv,environ);
then the first assignment is "discarding qualifiers".
If I declare argv as "const char *", then the call to execve() warns about "incompatible pointer type" for the second argument.
Reading through SUSv3 I find that the committee thought that the second argument to execve() should have been "const char * const *", but they didn't want old code to generate compiler warnings. (Of course, compilers that correctly type constant strings as "const char *" break that.)
Does anyone know a good way out of this mess? (Suggestions to turn off compiler warnings will be ignored. ;-)
