I have code that compiled without warning in the past on other
compilers
_________________________________________________
static char *full_month_names[] =
{
"January",
"February",
"March",
"April",
"May",
"June",
"July",
"August",
"September",
"October",
"November",
"December"
};
________________________________________
but I am getting a warning from g++:
warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'

Is there a way to do this without a warning that uses char * or is
this supposed to be one using a string class now?

Do wat is says:

static const char *full_month_names...

Conversion from these literals to char* with write access is lame that's
why the warning

Did you try sticking a "const" next to "char"?

No, I was confused by the term "string constant". I would have if the
message had been:

warning: deprecated conversion from 'const char *' to 'char*'.

Feel free to file an enhancement request with gcc for a clearer
warning (say one that comes with a hint that char* should possibly be
replaced by either const char* or char[] (that last possibility
doesn't apply here)).

Aha.. reminds me of my earliest days of my attempts to learn C++
programming. I had same confusion and unlike Marc, I did not get
the idea of mailing gcc guys for enhacement request.
