According to sec. 4.4: Qualification conversions, paragraph 3, the following is NOT a const-safe conversion: char * * --> char const * * whereas this is safe: char * * --> char const *const * Why? I don't see how *adding* `const' an any level of a multi-level pointer could lessen safety. --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated. Submission address: std-c++@ncar.ucar.edu.
