Re: Using CFSTR() with const char * variable

That’s not going to work.

__builtin___CFStringMakeConstantString is a special compiler function that requires a constant string to work in the first place, as it tells the compiler to generate CFString literal.

I doubt the compiler will accept anything else as parameter.
