Conversion from string constant to char*' it's legacy from C, but GCC should
not perceive it as const char*, because the type of expression is const char[]!
I think GCC have defined it as a compile-time constant, but it's infeasible
solution.
In other situation it behaves correctly:
void foo( char* );
int main()
{
bool flag = false;
foo( flag ? "a" : "b" ); // error ( cannot convert from const char* to
char* )
}
