[Q]const char *const * ??

[itsolution]

Hi Guys,
When a function has following arg type,
update_data(const 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_default[]={ "aaa", "bbb", NULL};

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

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.
