I have been given the task of porting a small project from an IRIX environment into a visual c++ compatible library. To accomplish this I decided to use Cygwin, since it has such nice utilities for creating DLLs. Everything has been going fine, with only a few changes here and there, until I stopped dead on this problem. Given the member function: const Foo** FooBar::getA() const { return ( A ) } where A is a const Foo** I get the following message: Return to const Foo** from Foo **const adds cv-quals without intervening 'const'. Now, please, can someone tell me just what a cv-qual is and why the compiler complains about this on Cygwin with gcc but not on IRIX with cc? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
