Re: [Dev-C++] reference question

[<ri...@un...>]

In your second example you are trying to create a reference
of type 'char*&'  from  '&c'  that in fact it is not a variable
of the type 'char*&', if not the memory adresse of a variable
of type char. Then you are allowed to allocate this memory
adresse only in a constant reference, that is, in a variable of type
'char *const &'.

May be you can understand this subtle point verifying that this
piece of code compile without any problem although, aparently,
it is similar to your second 'problematic' example:

int main()
{
 char c;
 char *c1;
 c1 = &c;
 char *  &r = c1;
}

The reason is unveiled, I think, with this example,
if not we can discuss about it.
