Is it true that this is not allowed in C++ (g++)?

	#include <stdio.h>

	main()
	{
	  const char* str = "init";

	  str = ( *str == '\0' ) ? 
				"new":
				 str ;		/* <- problematic line */
	  printf( "%s\n", str );
	}

g++2.2.2 ($ g++ -o jo jo.cc) complains "assignment between incompatible
pointer types". This works

	str = str;

I found this kind of stuff in the InterViews package from Stanford (part
of the X11R5 contrib tape).

Should that code work?
