C++ deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'

Question

I have a class with a private char str[256];

and for it I have an explicit constructor:

explicit myClass(const char *func)
{
    strcpy(         


        

Answer 1

For what its worth, I find this simple wrapper class to be helpful for converting C++ strings to char *:

class StringWrapper {
    std::vector vec;
public:
    StringWrapper(const std::string &str) : vec(str.begin(), str.end()) {
    }

    char *getChars() {
        return &vec[0];
    }
};
