 Message        <Context> accepting a string literal in parentheses
                as the initializer for a character array is a
                language extension.

 Description    The compiler accepts this kind of initializer for
                compatibility with many other C compilers.  According
                to the C standard, a string literal in parentheses is
                a character pointer.  Therefore, this program does
                not conform to the standard and may be rejected by
                other compilers.

 User Action    Remove the parentheses.
