将指向非常量的指针转换为指向常量的指针是合法的.

It is legal to convert a pointer-to-non-const to a pointer-to-const.

那为什么将指向非常量指针的指针转换为指向常量的指针的指针是不合法的?

Then why isn't it legal to convert a pointer to pointer to non-const to a pointer to pointer to const?

例如,为什么下面的代码是非法的:

E.g., why is the following code illegal:

char *s1 = 0;
const char *s2 = s1; // OK...
char *a[MAX]; // aka char **
const char **ps = a; // error!

推荐答案

来自标准:

const char c = 'c';
char* pc;
const char** pcc = &pc;   // not allowed
*pcc = &c;
*pc = 'C';                // would allow to modify a const object
