Why should he have to do that? He declares a pointer to a const char (array):

     const char* __conv;

and later assigns the address of a const char (array) to it:

     __conv = "%ho";

That's well formed. There is no need to name the strings, and the pointer
itself is not const, so he can assign to it as many times as he likes. I see
nothing wrong with the patch in that regard.
