LPCTSTR to CString. Cast from pointer type const CHAR* is not allowed

Question

JOINT STRIKE FLGHTER, AIR VEHICLE, C++ CODING STANDARDS Chapter 4.23 Type Conversions, AV Rule 182.

How can the conversion be successful?

Answer 1

Pass the const char* pointer to the narrow string to the CString class constructor.
For example,

LPCTSTR psz = "narrow string";
CString str(psz); // Construct CString object
printf_s("Null terminated string : %s\n", psz);
printf_s(("CString object : %s\n"), str.GetString());

Another way to construct the CString object-

CString str = psz; // Construct CString object

This is the result of checking the code using the c/c++ test tool from parasoft, a reliability test tool company.

The project is set to multibyte.
void foo2(CString strPath)
{
//strPath
}

void foo(LPCTSTR strPath)
{
foo2(CString(strPath)); << this line
}
