This macro says: /* Cast from const char * to char * so that caller can assign to a char * without a warning. */ I reckon that isn't such a good idea since it can result in char* variables where const char* is appropriate. Not very many places need the char* cast. bfd/ * aout-target.h (object_p): Formatting. * bfd-in.h (bfd_get_filename): Don't cast to char*. * corefile.c (generic_core_file_matches_executable_p): Constify variables and remove cast. * bfd-in2.h: Regenerate. binutils/ * nm.c (print_object_filename_bsd, print_object_filename_sysv), (print_object_filename_posix, print_archive_filename_bsd), (print_archive_filename_sysv, print_archive_filename_posix), (print_archive_member_bsd, print_archive_member_sysv), (print_archive_member_posix): Constify parameter. (struct output_fns <print_object_filename, print_archive_filename>), (<print_archive_member>): Likewise. * objcopy.c (copy_archive): Add cast for make_tempdir. ld/ * emultempl/elf32.em (gld${EMULATION_NAME}_search_needed): Constify variable. * emultempl/pe.em (gld_${EMULATION_NAME}_after_open): Likewise. * emultempl/pep.em (gld_${EMULATION_NAME}_after_open): Likewise. gdb/ * coffread.c (coff_symfile_read): Constify filename variable. * dbxread.c (dbx_symfile_init, coffstab_build_psymtabs), (elfstab_build_psymtabs, stabsect_build_psymtabs): Likewise. * gdb_bfd.c (gdb_bfd_close_or_warn): Likewise. * solib.c (reload_shared_libraries_1): Likewise. * symfile.c (reread_symbols): Likewise. * solib-aix.c (solib_aix_bfd_open): Add cast for xfree of filename. * solib-darwin.c (darwin_bfd_open): Likewise. * symfile-mem.c (symbol_file_add_from_memory): Likewise. sim/cris/ * sim-if.c (sim_open): Constify filename variable.
