c++ How could I properly predefined array of char*?

Question

I am doing it that way:

int argc = 9;
char* argv[argc];

argv[0] = "c:/prog.exe";

but I get notice, that it is deprecated. What is better way?

Answer 1

You have to either make it const:

const char *argv[] = { "Arg1", "Arg2", "..." };

... or not use the constant string literals:

int argc = 9;
char* argv[argc];
char prog_name[] = "c:/prog.exe";
argv[0] = prog_name;
