[Q]const char *const * ??

[itsolution@gmail.com]

Hi Guys,


When a function has following arg type,
update_data(con st char *const * update_list,... )

exactly what object type update_list can take?

For example, I can call update_aaa() using following variale as an
arg:
const char *updatelist_def ault[]={ "aaa", "bbb", NULL};

Then, why the 2nd 'const' is necessary ? I mean,
update_data(con st char * * update_list,... ) would work. But actually
not!

I thought update_data(con st char * * update_list,... ) would work. But actually
not! If not "const char *const * ", compiler complains!

What does he complain about? Post a builtable code snippet which triggers
the warning, otherwise it is kinda hard to determine what is wrong.
