Since upgrading to Xcode 1.1, every new project that I create generates a
warning in main.m when I try to compile it:

//  main.m
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    return NSApplicationMain(argc, argv); // warning here!
}

The warning reads: "passing arg 2 of `NSApplicationMain' from incompatible
pointer type".

NSApplicationMain is declared to take 'const char * argv[]' as its second argument, and it's being passed a non-const one. It's happening "all of a sudden" because you are using a newer, stricter version of gcc by default with Xcode.


The warning is easy to eliminate: Just declare the second argument to main as 'const char * argv[]' rather than 'char * argv[]'.

OK - now _I'm_ seriously confused.

You've got a "char *[]", and NSAppplicationMain is declared to take a "const char * []"?
And the compiler is complaining about the difference?


If the situation were reversed, and you were trying to pass off a const as a non-const,
that I could understand - but converting from a non-const to a const is easy.
