Hello gurus,

I have a questio: is it mentioned in the c++ draft standard are
string literals lvalues or not ? Is it possible to take an address
of string ?

ANSI C (3.3.1 Primary expressions)
	A string literal is a primary expression. It is an lvalue
	with type defined in 3.1.4.

C++ DS 3.9 (Lvalues and rvalues)
	An lvalue refers to an object or function.

I did not found to find explicit answer.

Thank you.
