Subject: [PATCH v2] log: Fix result of strstr to 'const char *'
Date: Tue,  9 Dec 2025 16:41:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251209154128.661390-1-clg@redhat.com> (raw)

Assigning the result of strstr() to a 'char *' is unsafe since
strstr() returns a pointer into the original string which is a
read-only 'const char *' string.

A recent change in glibc 2.42.9000  :

   https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=cd748a63ab1a7ae846175c532a3daab341c62690

breaks compiles, complaining the result of strstr() is not a
'const char *' :

../util/log.c:208:24: error: initialization discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
  208 |         char *pidstr = strstr(filename, "%");
      |                        ^~~~~~

Fix that.
