Date: 2021nov1 Update: 2025sep15 Language: C/C++ Q. gcc: ISO C++ forbids converting a string constant to ‘char*’ [-Wwrite-strings] How can I correct this error. A. If you have something like:

char *mystring = "hello";

The problem is that "hello" is constant but mystring isn't. So change it to:

const char *mystring = "hello";

Add a `const`. It makes since since the quoted string is a constant.
