Hi,
I came across this while trying to review
Coverity output.
[joel at iceland dosfs]$ grep "const char const" *
msdos.h:extern const char const* MSDOS_DOT_NAME; /* ".", padded to
MSDOS_NAME chars */
msdos.h:extern const char const* MSDOS_DOTDOT_NAME; /* ".", padded to
MSDOS_NAME chars */
msdos_misc.c:const char const* MSDOS_DOT_NAME = ". ";
msdos_misc.c:const char const* MSDOS_DOTDOT_NAME = ".. ";
My understanding is that this is legal in C99 and
illegal in C++.
Coverity complains it is ...
*dupl_type_qualifier*: type qualifier specified more than once
Would it be OK to change these to "const char *MSDOS_DOT_"?
