pipeline: uvcvideo: Avoid reference to temporary object
A range-based for loop whose range expression is an array of char pointers and range variable declaration is a const reference to a std::string creates a temporary string from the char pointer and binds the range variable reference to it. This creates a const reference to a temporary, which is valid in C++, and extends the lifetime of the temporary to the lifetime of the reference. However, lifetime extension in range-based for loops is considered as a sign of a potential issue, as a temporary is created for every iteration, which can be costly, and the usage of a reference in the range declaration doesn't make it obvious that the code isn't simply binding a reference to an existing object. gcc 11, with the -Wrange-loop-construct option, flags this: uvcvideo.cpp:432:33: error: loop variable 'name' of type 'const string&' {aka 'const std::__cxx11::basic_string<cha r>&'} binds to a temporary constructed from type 'const char* const' [-Werror=range-loop-construct] | 432 | for (const std::string &name : { "idVendor", "idProduct" }) { | | ^~~~ To please the compiler, make the range variable a const char *. This may bring a tiny performance improvement, as the name is only used once, in a location where the compiler can use operator+(const std::string &, const char *) instead of operator+(const std::string &, const std::string &) Signed-off-by: Khem Raj <raj.khem@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> Use a const char * type instead of auto, and update the commit message accordingly.
