Summary

0000035: strstr, strchr returning const on some distros

Description

Fedora Core 12 x64 reporting the following errors. Had to have the user const_cast<char *>() the results of strstr and strchr to work around this.

build.c: In function void build_setroom(CHAR_DATA, char
build.c:2171: error: invalid conversion from const char to char
build.c: In function void build_dig(CHAR_DATA, char:
build.c:3080: error: invalid conversion from const char to char
build.c: In function void build_addreset(CHAR_DATA, char):
build.c:3741: error: invalid conversion from const char to char
build.c: In function int get_dir(char):
build.c:5448: error: invalid conversion from const char to char

strfuns.c: In function char* strip_out(const char*, const char*):
strfuns.c:1029: error: invalid conversion from const char* to char*
strfuns.c:1029: error: invalid conversion from const char* to char*
strfuns.c: In function char* strip_color(const char*, const char*):
strfuns.c:1053: error: invalid conversion from const char* to char*
strfuns.c:1053: error: invalid conversion from const char* to char*

Additional Information

Currently I test build against Debian (testing) x86, x86_64, and Ubuntu (stable). Unable to reproduce in those distros. Marked 'sometimes' due to only certain distros displaying this behavior.

Notes
(0000042) Kline (administrator) 2010-02-13 13:25	I just upgraded my Debian box to g++-4.4 from g++-4.3 and am now experiencing this. Seems to be more of a g++ issue than distro.

(0000043) Kline (administrator) 2010-02-13 16:59	Rev 545: Fixed this by checking the overloaded strstr() types and properly declaring temp variables.
