Hi Bahadir, Compiled as C++ (-std=c++98, using GCC 4.0.0), your code works with the const int. Compiled with -std=c89 or -std=c99, your code produces the error you described. I'm not so familiar with ISO/IEC 9899, so I'm not sure what the standard says in this situation. However, I'm willing to wager that GCC complies with the standard, and that the error message is indicative of where the code is in violation of the standard, and why. HTH, --Eljay
