R CMD check now produceS a WARNING if a package uses STRING_PTR. If your use of the pointer is read-only then you can call STRING_PTR_RO instead. If your code is writing to the string data then you will need to change your code. The only supported way to modify string data is to use SET_STRING_ELT. This restriction is necessary to preserve the integrity of the memory management system.
