two points:
1) the component for this bug should surely be c++, since the "deprecated
conversion" warning is only issued by the C++ front end, the C front end says
passing argument 1 of ‘myfunction’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer
target type
and even then, only with -Wwrite-strings, which is not enabled by -Wall -Wextra
2) unlike the PR's summary, the warning says "deprecated conversion from string
CONSTANT to 'char*'" (emphasis mine) which should be a pretty big clue that
it's warning you about a real problem.
I can't see any good reason this PR isn't INVALID, but will go for WAITING in
case you have a better case to make for changing the current behaviour, which
is entirely consistent with the C++ standard.
