Ah.. I see..
(I don't think you need (uintptr_t) - you can cast a (const char *)
to a (char *) without having to go "through" that - I believe.)
Is this C, or C++.. there are some differences in the type of
a constant character string between the two...
But - basically, what you are trying to describe is a field which
is sometimes 'const' and othertimes isn't... which doesn't make
sense in the context of the C standard... you'll need a cast
for the initialization, or some other approach besides static
initialization I believe... (or, just "live" with the warning...
which isn't pleasant at all.)
