Re: "Not really an lvalue" warnings




What you are trying to do is very bad practice. if the GetText() member function is mandating that the returned character array not have its contents changed, then you should honor that.


If you really want to strip the const-ness (even though you shouldn't), then you do a const_cast<>() on the right side of the expression to strip the const rather than trying to cast the left side to be const.

The following code produces a warning from GCC about "target of
assignment not really an lvalue; this will be a hard error in the
future".  What's going wrong, and how do I fix it?

char *typeOfQ = NULL;
static_cast<const char *>(typeOfQ) =
handle.FirstChildElement("fieldlabel").Element()->NextSiblingElement ("fieldentry")->GetText();
