C++ deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'

Question

I have a class with a private char str[256];

and for it I have an explicit constructor:

explicit myClass(const char *func)
{
    strcpy(         


        

Answer 1

As answer no. 2 by fnieto - Fernando Nieto clearly and correctly describes that this warning is given because somewhere in your code you are doing (not in the code you posted) something like:

void foo(char* str);
foo("hello");

However, if you want to keep your code warning-free as well then just make respective change in your code:

void foo(char* str);
foo((char *)"hello");

That is, simply cast the string constant to (char *).
