In message <xzplmrgftv6.fsf@flood.ping.uio.no> Dag-Erling Smorgrav writes: : ...which is totally academic, since as you very well know, arrays : decay to pointers when passed as arguments in function calls, and : foo[] decays to *foo in function declarations and definitions. No : ISO-compliant compiler will differentiate between the two. I use : *argv[] myself, but only out of a sense of tradition. Some compilers will warn of a pedantic mismatch. But I don't think gcc is one of them. Besides style(9) is explicit on this. If it wasn't, then we could use **argv.
