-Wwrite-strings flags code like: static char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL }; as needing "(char *)" casts, because string literals are "const char []". We can get rid of the casts by changing the array type like this: - static char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL }; + static const char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL }; However, passing the such array to PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords no longer works OOTB, because PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords expects a "char **": PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(PyObject *args, PyObject *kw, const char *format, char *keywords[], ...); and "const char **" is not implicitly convertible to "char **". C++ is more tolerant that C here WRT aliasing, and a const_cast<char **> is fine. However, to avoid having all callers do the cast themselves, this commit defines a gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords function here with a corresponding 'keywords' parameter type that does the cast in a single place. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-04-05 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * python/python-internal.h (gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords): New static inline function. * python/py-arch.c (archpy_disassemble): Constify 'keywords' array and use gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords. * python/py-cmd.c (cmdpy_init): Likewise. * python/py-finishbreakpoint.c (bpfinishpy_init): Likewise. * python/py-inferior.c (infpy_read_memory, infpy_write_memory) (infpy_search_memory): Likewise. * python/py-objfile.c (objfpy_add_separate_debug_file) (gdbpy_lookup_objfile): Likewise. * python/py-symbol.c (gdbpy_lookup_symbol) (gdbpy_lookup_global_symbol): Likewise. * python/py-type.c (gdbpy_lookup_type): Likewise. * python/py-value.c (valpy_lazy_string, valpy_string): Likewise. * python/python.c (execute_gdb_command, gdbpy_write, gdbpy_flush): Likewise.
