From 2adadf517063fb1c3b9240bf99ad339968c12f15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pedro Alves Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2017 19:21:36 +0100 Subject: -Wwrite-strings: Add a PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords "const char *" overload -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 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 * 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. --- gdb/python/py-value.c | 12 ++++++------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'gdb/python/py-value.c') diff --git a/gdb/python/py-value.c b/gdb/python/py-value.c index 9c0470f..b5a0ef8 100644 --- a/gdb/python/py-value.c +++ b/gdb/python/py-value.c @@ -431,11 +431,11 @@ valpy_lazy_string (PyObject *self, PyObject *args, PyObject *kw) gdb_py_longest length = -1; struct value *value = ((value_object *) self)->value; const char *user_encoding = NULL; - static char *keywords[] = { "encoding", "length", NULL }; + static const char *keywords[] = { "encoding", "length", NULL }; PyObject *str_obj = NULL; - if (!PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords (args, kw, "|s" GDB_PY_LL_ARG, keywords, - &user_encoding, &length)) + if (!gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords (args, kw, "|s" GDB_PY_LL_ARG, + keywords, &user_encoding, &length)) return NULL; if (length < -1) @@ -526,10 +526,10 @@ valpy_string (PyObject *self, PyObject *args, PyObject *kw) const char *user_encoding = NULL; const char *la_encoding = NULL; struct type *char_type; - static char *keywords[] = { "encoding", "errors", "length", NULL }; + static const char *keywords[] = { "encoding", "errors", "length", NULL }; - if (!PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords (args, kw, "|ssi", keywords, - &user_encoding, &errors, &length)) + if (!gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords (args, kw, "|ssi", keywords, + &user_encoding, &errors, &length)) return NULL; TRY -- cgit v1.1
