For what it's worth, Watcom 11.0 gives:

ZERO  = 0
ONE   = 1
array1[0] = 0
array1[1] = 1
array2[0] = 0
array2[1] = 1

Is the following correct? If so, would someone explain why I get the
addresses of the const ints unless I cast them to plain int?

Thanks

#include <iostream.h>

extern const int ZERO  = 0;
extern const int ONE   = 1;

int array1[] = {ZERO,ONE};
int array2[] = {(int) ZERO, (int) ONE};

int main()
{
  cout << "ZERO  = " << ZERO  << '\n';
  cout << "ONE   = " << ONE   << '\n';

  cout << "array1[0] = " << array1[0] << '\n';
  cout << "array1[1] = " << array1[1] << '\n';

  cout << "array2[0] = " << array2[0] << '\n';
  cout << "array2[1] = " << array2[1] << '\n';
}

Output:

ZERO  = 0
ONE   = 1
array1[0] = 1073746524
array1[1] = 1073746520
array2[0] = 0
array2[1] = 1

Not on my compiler!  I think you might have a compiler bug.
