variable declaration

[Rahul]

Hi Everyone,

I had the following declaration and i expected the compiler to give
an error, but it didn't, how does it interpret the declaration?

const * int ptr;

Thanks in advance!!!

result = a * int (b);

What compiler does that? GCC 4.2 rejects both of these:

int main() { const * int ptr; }
int main() { void* ptr = 0; const * int ptr; }

Both cases cause the same diagnostic:

g++ -ansi -pedantic -Wall main.cc -o main
main.cc: In function 'int main()':
main.cc:1: error: expected unqualified-id before 'int'
main.cc:1: error: expected initializer before 'int'

I meant in a declaration. See subj.
