This is one of a series of reports of bugs found in the C++ compiler here at
warwick. We have release 1.0 of the software.
DESCRIPTION:
Mishandling of constant pointers.
Assignment of a constant pointer to a non-constant pointer
not allowed.
EXAMPLE:
char *const foo = "hello world";
main()
{
char *cp = foo;
}
OUTPUT:
CC const_ptr.c:
"const_ptr.c", line 6: error: bad initializer type char * const for cp ( char * expected)
