The problem is that struct spec_list's "name" field is declared const: const char *name; /* name of the spec. */ and likewise for the "name" field within struct spec_list_1: const char *const name; Some are statically allocated, others are dynamically allocated. If I convert them to: char *name; /* name of the spec. */ and: char *const name;
I'm not suggesting you remove the const for thees things.
It seems simpler to keep the "const" on those string fields, and cast it away when cleaning up the dynamically-allocated ones (as in the candidate patch).
Is it really necessary to cast it away to call free? I suppose it is. OK without the twiddle. jeff
