[Bug c/30743] New: Bogus warning on argument passing discarding qualifiers

[gdr at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The following is a testcase distilled from a build failure while compiling
CVS GDB:

/home/gdr/redhat/src/gdb/ada-lang.c: In function 'ada_lookup_symbol_list':
/home/gdr/redhat/src/gdb/ada-lang.c:4659: warning: passing argument 3 of
'remove_out_of_scope_renamings' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
make[2]: *** [ada-lang.o] Error 1


How to repeat:

% cat b.c && gcc -c -O2 -Wall -Werror b.c

struct T { int i; };

static int f(struct T* p) { return p->i; }

int g(const struct T* p) { return f((struct T*)p); }

int main(void)
{
   struct T t = {0};
   return g(&t);
}

cc1: warnings being treated as errors
b.c: In function 'g':
b.c:6: warning: passing argument 1 of 'f' discards qualifiers from pointer
target type
