> SOFTWARE:  g++ (gcc) version 2.2.2

> BUG REPORT:  conditional operator ?: cannot handle const char * operand.

> I discovered the following bug while recompiling groff using g++
> version 2.2.2.

> PROBLEM: compiling the following code produces the error
> 	try.cc: In function `int  main ()':
> 	try.cc:5: assignment between incompatible pointer types

> EXAMPLE CODE:
> main()
> {
>     const char *p = "abcd";
>     const char *c;
>     c = ((p == 0) ? "1234" : p);
> }


> Note: changing the declaration of p to char * will allow g++ to compile the
> code without error.  No casting of any members has any affect on the problem.
