Okay ... _another_ C standard question, about that bastard system from
hell known as Unicos :-/
The Unicos system I'm using gives an error if you have an argument
of "const char *" to a function that takes "char *". This happens
in a number of places in the krb5 source tree ... most commonly in
calls to gethostbyname(). Two questions:
- Is this "correct" behavior? (So I know whether or not to submit a
compiler bug).
- What's the right fix? I've been just putting in an explicit cast
to char *.
(And before you say anything Assar ... Heimdal suffers from the exact
same problem :-) ).
