constification for lang_specific_driver

Zack Weinberg zack@wolery.cumb.org
Wed Aug 2 13:21:00 GMT 2000


This patch eliminates the remaining warnings about losing const
qualifiers in gcc.c.  It was necessary to change the interface to
lang_specific_driver.  None of the foospec.c files actually modified
their arguments in place, and most of them get simpler with this
patch.

Bootstrapped i386-linux, applied.

Does anyone know why the second argument of execvp() is declared as
char * const *, instead of const char *const * ?

zw

	* gcc.h (lang_specific_driver): Constify second argument.
	* gcc.c (translate_options, process_command, main): Likewise.
	Constify variables to match.  Cast second argument to
	pexecute.

	* cppspec.c, gccspec.c, g++spec.c, g77spec.c, jvspec.c: Adjust
	type of second argument to lang_specific_driver, and update
	code as necessary.
