const and multi dem array compile problem

[Kevin Houston]

Why do I get the following compiler error:

**Illegal type 'const const int'**


when I try to compile this?


int somefunction(int someparameter)
{
const int myarray[][2] = /* Why won't it let me use const? */
{
{5, 37},
{6, 36},
};
/*the rest of the somefunction definition here*/
}

This is being compiled on a C only (not C++) compiler (labwindows
cvi).

The return statement is in my code I just left it out here for
purposes of illustration.

The real question is why can't I use "const" where I did.

What is "C&P"

Why do I get the following compiler error:

**Illegal type 'const const int'**

^^^^^ ^^^^^
...

const int myarray[][2] = /* Why won't it let me use const? */

^^^^^

Failure to use C&P, by chance?

You can. The question is why the compiler spits out *two* const's in it's
error message although you only wrote one.

Copy & Paste. I suspect in the code you really compiled, you wrote:

const const int myarray[][2] ...
