First thanks from ZunePaint author, that's one major goal for me, open sourcing my developments under AROS to inspire others.
Then regarding your question, as said mixing Amiga specifics with Ansi/Posix standards is a bit of additional work regarding casting to have a warning free compilation.

Thanks. So it's totally "normal" to see a bunch of casts to char * and const char * when calling clib string functions.

STRPTR is an Amiga specific definition defined in the original exec/types.h of AmigaOS includes and taken over by AROS for compatibility.
clib follows the ANSI standard which uses (const) char * as pointer to a string.

Is somebody able to explain the reasoning behind STRPTR (and CONST_STRPTR) defined in exec/types.h. I imagine these would be useful for cross-platform development but then I see (or write myself) code to cast into char* or const char* to use clib functions like strlen.
Am I missing something fundamental? Also a huge thank you to the Zune Paint authors. I'm finding the code to be very instructional on Zune/MUI.
