SunStudio has given these warnings for a long time, and we added const to several R declarations (most recently Rprintf) to suppress them.
And yes, we noticed that gcc 4.3.0 gave them too.

So what version of R is this?  I don't think 2.7.0 alpha does this.

And I suggest you don't mix 'g++-4.3' with R compiled under gcc 3.4.6 and gfortran -- some of the argument passing is incompatible.

Hello,
I've noticed that with g++ 4.3 I get the following "warning: deprecated
conversion from string constant to ‘char*’" when I call e.g.,
Rprintf("Hello world"); or when I try to define a const char e.g., char
lower = 'L';

I am wrapping the c++ code in extern "C" {}. This seems to be something
new with g++ 4.3, because the same code compiled without warnings with
previous versions.

Has anyone else had theses warnings? Any fixes?

I have included some example output below. Each warning corresponds to
an Rprintf call.
