c++ error: invalid conversion from ‘const char*’ to ‘char*’ [-fpermissive]

static int file_count(char *path)
{
    DIR * p_dir = NULL;
    struct dirent * dp = NULL;
    int file_quantity = 0;

    p_dir = opendir(path);
    if (p_dir == NULL) {
       return (-1);
    }

    return file_quantity;
}

int main(void)
{
    std::string path = "/home/ac-test";

    file_count(path.c_str());

    return 0;
}

编译时报了以上错误，修改为:

static int file_count(const char *path)

编译通过。
