Hi,

Where do we send 'stuff' to if we're compiling and testing Exim 4.95-RC0 ?

I'm compiling 4.95-RC0 I get the following warnings emitted :-

cc filter.c
filter.c: In function 'interpret_commands':
filter.c:2018:23: warning: assignment discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
 2018 |  else headers_charset = s; /*XXX loses track of const */
      |                       ^
filter.c:2042:12: warning: assignment discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
 2042 |       fmsg = expargs[0];  /*XXX loses track of const */
      |            ^
filter.c:2129:40: warning: assignment discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
 2129 |    if (i != mailarg_index_text) for (p = s; *p != 0; p++)
      |                                        ^
filter.c:2179:24: warning: assignment discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
 2179 |    commands->args[i].u = s; /*XXX loses track of const */
      |                        ^
cc filtertest.c


The comments would indicate that this is deliberate :-)

I'm compiling using gcc on Alpine Linux :-

gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gcc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-alpine-linux-musl/9.3.0/lto-wrapper
