When compiling C, give string constants the type @code{const
char[@var{length}]} so that
copying the address of one into a non-@code{const} @code{char *}
pointer will get a warning; when compiling C++, warn about the
deprecated conversion from string literals to @code{char *}. This
warning, by default, is enabled for C++ programs.
These warnings will help you find at
compile time code that can try to write into a string constant, but
only if you have been very careful about using @code{const} in
declarations and prototypes. Otherwise, it will just be a nuisance;
this is why we did not make @option{-Wall} request these warnings.
