>Answer: No, while a type "gchar*" (pointer to char) can

automatically be cast into "const gchar*" (pointer to const

char), this does not apply for "gchar *[]" (array of an

unspecified number of pointers to char) into "const gchar *[]"

(array of an unspecified number of pointers to const char).

>

>The type qualifier "const" may be subject to automatic

casting, but in the array case, it is not the array itself

that needs the (const) qualified cast, but its members, thus

changing the whole type.
