It's COMMAND_LINE itself that should have been fixed up, not that one use of it. Because the only reason you didn't get a warning from later uses is that 'strcmp()' is doing compiler-specific magic. You're just delaying the inevitable warnings about the other uses of that thing.
Makes sense. I'll change the patch accordingly. Thanks, Guenter
