[constParameter] and main()

[Martin Poupě]

Hello,
for following program:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
    printf("%s\n",argv[0]);
    return 0;
}

Cppcheck 2.11 says:

tmp.c:3:25: style: Parameter 'argv' can be declared as const array [constParameter]
int main(int argc,char *argv[])
^

This is a tiny issue, but I think Cppcheck might exclude standardised fucntions (like main()) from constParameter check automatically.
Best Regards Martin

Since argv is only read from, it can be declared as const. This is accepted in C and C++.

You are right, const argv pointer works on both Linux and Windows. However this change makes definition of main different than declaration (which is implicit).
Lets hope it is harmless :-)
