Please be patient if this is a FAQ, I haven't found it there.
/* ----------------------------------------------------
   this code compiles without problems on  AT&T cfront based compilers
*/
int main()
{ double  (*q)[5];
// assignment between incompatible pointer types why?
  q= new double[3][5];
  return 0;
}

Since I am teaching C++ I would be glad if anybody could tell
me what's wrong with it.
Thanks,
