HI SLUGgers,
I have this little problem with GCC which I wonder if anyone can
enlighten me on. The little program below has been run on three
different machines all with the same result. The program compiles OK
under GCC but fails with a segmentation error. Under Borland 'C for
DOS', it compiles and runs correctly.
From the "info gcc" pages:
`-fwritable-strings'
Store string constants in the writable data segment and don't
uniquize them. This is for compatibility with old programs which
assume they can write into string constants.
Writing into string constants is a very bad idea; "constants"
should be constant.
This option is deprecated.
Compiling with the above option will probably make your program work.
Until GCC 4.0

- GCC no longer accepts the -fwritable-strings option.
Use named character arrays when you need a writable
string.
