This is the correct syntax when declaring a pointer to a fixed size array.
It is not something you usually see in C code but it is perfectly legal
syntax.
Back to my original question though. Why does gcc give that warning? It
should be legal to point a const pointer to a non-const variable and use
the pointer for read-only access, right? So why the warning? Is this a bug
in GCC?
Cheers
