#165399 - using 'const' for 'code' would be very bad Responding to: ???'s previous message |
I would be very worried by a 8051 compiler that decides that the 'const' keyword should mean the 'code' memory area. That would break code that uses 'const' to just say that the program may not modify a variable. In short, it would say that the compiler vendor don't understand the C language and have made a very, very broken decision that should have them banned. |
