Compiler Warning (level 1) C4906
Error Message
string literal cast to 'LPWSTR'
The compiler detected an unsafe cast. The cast did succeed, but you should use a conversion routine.
This warning is off by default. See Compiler Warnings That Are Off by Default for more information.
Example
The following sample generates C4906:
// C4906.cpp
// compile with: /W1
#pragma warning(default : 4906)
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
LPWSTR x = (LPWSTR)"1234"; // C4906
// try the following lines instead
// char y[128];
// size_t numberOfCharConverted = 0;
// errcode err = 0;
// err = wcstombs_s(&numberOfCharConverted , &y[0], 128,
// L"12345", 4);
// if (err != 0)
// {
// printf_s("wcstombs_s failed!");
// return -1;
// }
// printf_s("%s\n", y);
return 0;
