src/lib/libc/string: __strsignal.c
Log Message:
Stop attempting to return a (char*) in place of (const char *)
This removes a cast that was added in 1994, when __strsignal()
returned a char * to convert the const char * element of sys_siglist
into a type that matched.
It should have been removed when __strsignal() was changed to
return const char * in 1998. But wasn't.
This should fix an inane warning (treated as an error) from a
compile stupid enough to allow a natural char * (as in char buf[N])
to be returned as a result (which is, of course, fine), but complains
about returning (char *) applied to a (const char *).
