<h3 class="section">6.24 Pointers to Arrays with Qualifiers Work as Expected</h3>
<p><a name="index-pointers-to-arrays-3012"></a><a name="index-const-qualifier-3013"></a>
In GNU C, pointers to arrays with qualifiers work similar to pointers
to other qualified types. For example, a value of type <code>int (*)[5]</code>
can be used to initialize a variable of type <code>const int (*)[5]</code>.
These types are incompatible in ISO C because the <code>const</code> qualifier
is formally attached to the element type of the array and not the
array itself.
<pre class="smallexample"> extern void
transpose (int N, int M, double out[M][N], const double in[N][M]);
double x[3][2];
double y[2][3];
<span class="roman">...</span>
transpose(3, 2, y, x);
