by We are in the process of re-compiling our programs using WorkShop 6
update 1 and I keep getting a lot of annoying warning messages. One
is:
"String literal converted to char* in initialization"
and others are complaining about function pointers as arguments to
functions, like for signal, thr_create, and atexit. A typical warning
states:
Warning (Anachronism): Formal argument 2 or type extern "C"
void(*)(int) in call to std::signal(int, extern "C" void (*)(int)) is
being passed void(*)(int).
The calls are being made in a C++ program.
Is there anyway to correct this warnings? I used the "-w" option for
the compiler to silence the string literal warnings, but I am afraid
it is silencing other warnings as well. I am assuming that the
"extern C" warning is coming up because it is a C++ program. I know
they are just warnings, but I like to have clean compiles. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
