[PATCH v3 00/27] Compile with `-Wwrite-strings`

[Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 39934 bytes --]

Hi,

this is the third version of my patch series that prepares the Git
codebase to compile with `-Wwrite-strings`. This compiler warning
changes the type of string constants from `char []` to `const char []`,
which helps to identify cases where we may accidentally write to or free
such constants.

Changes compared to v2:

  - I have split up the second patch into multiple patches. This was
    done so that we can have a deeper look at the respective sites that
    need adjustment.

  - I dropped the local string arrays that I used in v2 and instead now
    use string constants with casts in some places where we expect that
    those should never be written to. This has the benefit that we would
    segfault in case that expectation is violated, instead of silently
    allowing a write to those local arrays.

  - I adapted multiple commit messages to not only mention freeing of
    string constants, but also that writing to string constants is
    illegal.

Due to the split-up patch the range-diff got quite messy and was barely
readable anymore. I thus included an interdiff instead, which should be
way easier to read.

I realize that this patch series has grown quite large. Please let me
know in case I shall split it up into multiple patch series.

Patrick
