"deprecated conversion" Error with VoodooHDA on 10.6
« on: January 23, 2010, 01:24:20 PM »
Error when building VoodooHDA 0.2.2 for 10.6
Code: [Select]
warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'in line
Code: [Select]
void VoodooHDADevice::dumpNodes(FunctionGroup *funcGroup)
{
static char *ossname[] = SOUND_DEVICE_NAMES;
...


Any idea?

turn off warnings as errors.

Due to compatibility with C you could use char* as string constants, but it is not C++ proper and is now deprecated in gcc. So basically you should change char* to const char*.

Thanks! I used const before the wrong definitions and it worked for 60 from 64 errors.
Could you give your advice on this lines

error: assignment of read-only location
Code: [Select]
dumpAmp(widget->params.outAmpCap, "Output");

The second yet with deprication:
warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'
Code: [Select]
control->widget->connsenable[control->index] = 0;

You can also use casts...
Check my version (above) to see how I fixed it up for SL
basically this means the following:
foo = "STRING";
becomes
foo = (char *)"STRING";
This will remove those warnings.
The SL version I made allready has all of these fixed...

Casting is bad programming because you override the type checking. Of course sometimes it is required, but I recommend to avoid it wherever possible.

Just look in my sources (One back, the one for Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard) to see how I fixed that issue...
It won't be much trouble to apply the same to latest SVN...
