#include <iostream> 
 

#include <cstdio>

 
 #include <stdlib.h>  
 

Or better: #include <cstdlib>

 
using namespace std; 
 

 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  char pcarray[15];
 
  strcpy( pcarray, "hello world");
  
  cout << pcarray << endl;
  
  const char *cp = pcarray;

// shouldnt I get a compiler error here?  Or is there a gcc switch that I
need to set?? 
 

 
No, it is valid. The name specifier of the built in array behaves like a
const char * const pointer, when used with pointers.
