Secondly, if you think that a runtime diagnostic is as good as a compile-time diagnostic, then you have still a LOT to learn about software development. The earlier in the development process that a bug can be caught, the better. This is basic software development 101. The writing-to-a-string-literal might happen only in some cases, not always. For example, it could depend on the particular contents of some of input file, or a particular action by the user, a particular command line parameter, or a myriad of other things that can vary from execution to execution. In the worst case scenarios the error may happen sporadically and without a clear pattern, which can make extraordinarily difficult to debug. Counless hours could be spent in trying to find such an elusive and obscure bug. All of which could have been avoided if you just used 'const' and turned on compiler warnings, and paid attention to them. There's literally zero reason not to use 'const' for pointers that are not intended to be used to modify the values they are pointing to.
