Using builtin specs.
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
>Description:
gcc incorrectly reports 'incompatible pointer type' when function
is declared with 'const pointer to const pointer' arguement and is
just passed pointer to pointer.
Also generates error with 'const pointer to pointer' and 'pointer to
const pointer', i.e. removing either of the consts still generates
the warning.
>How-To-Repeat:
% cc xx.c
xx.c: In function `main':
xx.c:22: warning: passing arg 1 of `f' from incompatible pointer type
#include <stdio.h>
static const char *foo[] = { "test", NULL };
static int
f(const char * const *args) {
int i, j, k;
k = 0;
for (i = 0; args[i] != NULL; i++)
for (j = 0; args[i][j] != '\0'; j++)
k += args[i][j];
return (k);
}
int
main(int argc, char **argv) {
int i;
i = f(foo);
printf("%d\n", i);
i = f(argv); /* This should not generate a warning! */
printf("%d\n", i);
return (0);
