# V2532\. MISRA\. String literal should not be assigned to object unless it has type of pointer to const\-qualified char\.

This diagnostic rule is based on the software development guidelines developed by [MISRA](https://www.misra.org.uk/) \(Motor Industry Software Reliability Association\)\.

The analyzer has detected implicit removal of constness of a string literal\. Since any attempt to change a string literal leads to undefined behavior, it should be assigned only to objects of type pointer to const\-qualified char\.

This rule also applies to wide string literals\.

Here is an example of code that will trigger this warning:

```cpp
char* Foo(void)            
{
  return "Hello, world!";
}
```

A modified string literal also causes the analyzer to issue the warning:

```cpp
"first"[1] = 'c';
```
