[Linux-ha-dev] cast lvalues is deprecated

[Zhu, Yi]

Hi,

I know here is not comp.lang.c, but may I have a question?

I use gcc 3.3.3 within Fedora Core 2. I can't compile below
code without warning any more. Any chance to fix it without strcpy?

main()
{
        char * a; /* a must be char * */

        (const char *)a = "something";
}

$ gcc a.c -Wwrite-strings
a.c: In function `main':
a.c:4: warning: use of cast expressions as lvalues is deprecated

Thanks,
