And that works? It shouldn't Confused

Confused

Taking the address of a char* results in char**, which you convert to const char*. It's only blind luck or coincidence I suppose why that doesn't crash big Smile

Smile

EDIT: After reading the C FAQ, the reason why that doesn't crash, is that you take the address of a variable which holds a pointer, namely the address of std_tmpl_main[0].

This part of the library is awfully messy.

I've found someone else who also had this problem: http://cprogrammers.blogspot.com/2006/10/c-programming-diffe rent-signature.html

EDIT: I took a look at the C FAQ, and the exact problem is mentioned there (a VERY GOOD read): http://c-faq.com/aryptr/index.html

So I recommend to DON'T use the above code, but instead, use what produced the segfault, and fix the library.
