deprecated conversion warning for char* in GCC

g++-4.x gives following warning whenever a string with in double quotes is assigned to a char * :

warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’

Though there is no fix available as far as I know except for following two solutions:
1. convert 'char *' to 'const char*' whenever a string is to be assigned.
2. use a type cast to convert a string to a char*.

For example:

const char *name = "Adam Smith"
char *name = (char*) "Adam Smith"


To get rid of deprecated conversion warning, pass -Wno-write-strings option to g++
