Gprof Fixes Qualifier Discarded Call

The gprof now correctly calls strchr on a const char *.

By H.J. Lu <hjl@sourceware.org> May 3, 2026 committed

In annotate_source, strrchr was called on a const char *. The result is now stored in a const char *. This prevents a discarded qualifier call.

In Details

This commit fixes a discarded qualifier call in gprof/source.c. The function annotate_source now stores the result of strrchr in a const char *. This is unlikely to conflict with other subsystems.
