when you say it worked, do you mean it compiled and linked
successfully or it executed with no errors or it executed with
no errors and did what you wanted it to?

The first two are referencing the pointer to int pointers while
the last is referencing an int pointer.

  Hi!

void fRun( int const *const pi );
void fFail( int const *const *const ppi );
void fFailRun( int *const *const ppi );

main()
{
    int *pi, **ppi;

    // Why does this work...
    fRun( &pi );

    // ...and this not...
   fFail( &ppi );

   // ...and this does work ?
   fFailRun( ppi );
}

I'm using Watcom C++ 10.0a and MSVC2.0.
