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-finishbreakpoint.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'gdb/python/py-finishbreakpoint.c') diff --git a/gdb/python/py-finishbreakpoint.c b/gdb/python/py-finishbreakpoint.c index 76189b8..06f6ff9 100644 --- a/gdb/python/py-finishbreakpoint.c +++ b/gdb/python/py-finishbreakpoint.c @@ -156,7 +156,7 @@ bpfinishpy_post_stop_hook (struct gdbpy_breakpoint_object *bp_obj) static int bpfinishpy_init (PyObject *self, PyObject *args, PyObject *kwargs) { - static char *keywords[] = { "frame", "internal", NULL }; + static const char *keywords[] = { "frame", "internal", NULL }; struct finish_breakpoint_object *self_bpfinish = (struct finish_breakpoint_object *) self; PyObject *frame_obj = NULL; @@ -169,8 +169,8 @@ bpfinishpy_init (PyObject *self, PyObject *args, PyObject *kwargs) CORE_ADDR pc; struct symbol *function; - if (!PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords (args, kwargs, "|OO", keywords, - &frame_obj, &internal)) + if (!gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords (args, kwargs, "|OO", keywords, + &frame_obj, &internal)) return -1; TRY -- cgit v1.1
