If it's just for a few cases, how about adding a BER_BVCC macro which takes a const char[] instead? Or if it's for C++, that can use const_cast<char *>(s).
OK, either of those would be fine if you want to revert this checkin. Though we shouldn't use any C++ syntax in these headers.
I'll add BVCC then. And use it - where? I don't get any warnings. In fact I just tried #define BER_BVC(s) { STRLENOF(s), ("" s "") } #define BER_BVSTR(bv,s) ... (bv)->bv_val = ("" s ""); ... which requires s to be a string constant, and only got one error back-bdb/index.c:presence_key.
Maybe we should do that as well #if __STDC__? It gives an error if one casts away const on s, which changes the result of STRLENOF().
