the reason for these casts are unknown but they were presumably to silence warnings 9 years ago. but it doesn't seem to be necessary nowadays, so just drop the casts and also drop the `const` from the compound literal type. some small technical notes: 1. while string literals aren't `const` in C, writing to them is undefined (do not ask me why). and so compilers will typically put string literals into read only section anyways, regardless of weather `const` was used in the source or not. so this shouldn't make any difference codegen wise. 2. making the array of pointers `const` on the other hand might affect codegen, eg: `(char *const []){...}`. however, that'd trigger a lot of discarded qualifier warnings.
