Hi all,

I've got bitmaps defined using const (to store it in program memory) in=20
my PIC32 code as...
const unsigned char Logo1Bitmap[312] =3D
{
     0x00, 0x00, 0x1F, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xF0,
     0x00, 0x07, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xF0,
     ...
}


I also have this function...
void DrawBitmap(signed short XPos, signed short YPos, signed short=20
width, signed short height, unsigned char *bitmap, unsigned short color);


When I pass the bitmap to the function like this...
       DrawBitmap(85, 28, 52, 42, Logo1Bitmap, 0x7BEF);


I get warning messages like this...
warning: passing argument 5 of 'DrawBitmap' discards 'const' qualifier=20
from pointer target type [enabled by default]
        DrawBitmap(85, 28, 52, 42, Logo1Bitmap, 0x7BEF);

The only way I can get the warning to go away is to do this...
        DrawBitmap(85, 28, 52, 42, (unsigned char *)&Logo1Bitmap[0],=20
0x7BEF);


It works properly either way, but I'm unclear what it thinks I'm doing=20
wrong.  And what's the right way to do this?

Cheers,
-Neil.
