Fwd: Re: wrong C++ error ?

[Jochen Kuepper <jochen at uni-duesseldorf dot de>]

Hi All,

The following code (well, fragment):

  class KProcess : public QObject
  {
    ...
  public:
    bool writeStdin(char *buffer, int buflen);
    ...
  }

  function()
  {
    string input;
    KProcess process;
    ...
    process.writeStdin( input.c_str(), input.length() )
    ...

gives the following error message:
  passing `const char *' as argument 1 of 
  `KProcess::writeStdin(char *,int)' discards qualifiers
To my mind this has to be a warning, not an error message.

This is with gcc version gcc-2.95 19990527 (prerelease)

I can provide the input file if necessary.
