OK, updated patch below. WDYT?

I had found that thread via this bug: https://bugs.python.org/issue1772673

Subject: [PATCH] -Wwrite-strings: Add a PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords "const
char *" overload
-Wwrite-strings flags code like:
static char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL };
as needing "(char *)" casts, because string literals are "const char []".
We can get rid of the casts by changing the array type like this:
- static char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL };
+ static const char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL };
However, passing the such array to PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords no longer
works OOTB, because PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords expects a "char **":
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(PyObject *args, PyObject *kw,
const char *format,
char *keywords[], ...);
and "const char **" is not implicitly convertible to "char **". C++
is more tolerant that C here WRT aliasing, and a const_cast<char **>
is fine. However, to avoid having all callers do the cast themselves,
this commit defines a gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords function here
with a corresponding 'keywords' parameter type that does the cast in a
single place.
gdb/ChangeLog:
yyyy-mm-dd Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* python/python-internal.h (gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords): New
static inline function.
* python/py-arch.c (archpy_disassemble): Constify 'keywords'
array and use gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords.
* python/py-cmd.c (cmdpy_init): Likewise.
* python/py-finishbreakpoint.c (bpfinishpy_init): Likewise.
* python/py-inferior.c (infpy_read_memory, infpy_write_memory)
(infpy_search_memory): Likewise.
* python/py-objfile.c (objfpy_add_separate_debug_file)
(gdbpy_lookup_objfile): Likewise.
* python/py-symbol.c (gdbpy_lookup_symbol)
(gdbpy_lookup_global_symbol): Likewise.
* python/py-type.c (gdbpy_lookup_type): Likewise.
* python/py-value.c (valpy_lazy_string, valpy_string): Likewise.
* python/python.c (execute_gdb_command, gdbpy_write, gdbpy_flush):
Likewise.

Oh, I see. I was searching for the function name only. Thanks.
