#
# OBSOLETE MACRO
#
#   Use AX_CFLAGS_NO_WRITABLE_STRINGS.
#
# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AC_PROG_CC_NO_WRITEABLE_STRINGS(substvar [,hard])
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   Try to find a compiler option that warns when a stringliteral is
#   used in a place that could potentially modify the address. This
#   should warn on giving an stringliteral to a function that asks of a
#   non-const-modified char-pointer.
#
#   The sanity check is done by looking at string.h which has a set of
#   strcpy definitions that should be defined with const-modifiers to
#   not emit a warning in all so many places.
#
#   Currently this macro knows about GCC. hopefully will evolve to use:
#   Solaris C compiler, Digital Unix C compiler, C for AIX Compiler,
#   HP-UX C compiler, and IRIX C compiler.
