I see nothing wrong with it. Try a gcc forum

No, it's almost never a compiler bug.
Pointer subtraction occurs between compatible pointers, p1 and p2 are
incompatible types and cannot participate in pointer subtraction. You
should have received a warning on line 9 as well as you need a cast to
make the assignment work.

I did try Googling for "invalid operands to binary -"
in several gcc forums but I didn't find anything. I also
went to the gcc bugs page (gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html)
but once again nothing turned up.

I don't believe they are incompatible but rather p2 is
a qualified (with const) version of the type of p1. In
any case I don't see why the standard should forbid such
a thing ; it seems an unreasonable rstriction.

You are confused, p2 is not const qualified, it is a "pointer to
pointer to const char", which is a completely distinct and
incompatible type from "pointer to pointer to char". If the pointers
were defined as:
char ** p1;
char ** const p2;
Then you would be correct as p2 would now be a "const pointer to
pointer to char" (the const qualifier being applied to the pointer
itself) thus being a "qualified version of a compatible type".
Check out questions 11.9 and 11.10 on the FAQ <http://www.c-faq.com/>
for more details.

IMO it is a misapplied bug. The initialization of p2 cannot
succeed, because it is a const, and can only be set at declaration
time. Gcc apparently remembers that it has invalid content, and
thus rejects the arithmetic statement.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
