     Compiler warning (level 4) C4130
 
     'operator ' : logical operation on address of string constant
 
     The operator was used with the address of a string literal.
     Unexpected code was generated.
 
     For example, the following code causes this warning:
 
          char *pc;
          pc = "Hello";
          if (pc == "Hello") ...
 
     The if statement compares the value stored in the pointer pc to
     the address of the string "Hello", which is separately allocated
     each time it occurs in the code. It does not compare the string
     pointed to by pc with the string "Hello".
 
     To compare strings, use the strcmp function.
