Hello,
Visual Studio c++ 2005
I am getting an error on the last line of this code.
int Utils::GetLengthDiff ( const char * input, int & num_subst )
{
int num_wide = 0, diff = 0 ;
const char * start_ptr = input ;
num_subst = 0 ;
while ( ( start_ptr = strstr ( start_ptr, enc_start ) ) != NULL )
{
char * end_ptr = strstr ( start_ptr, enc_end ); // Error
So I changed the line to this and it worked ok
const char * end_ptr = strstr ( start_ptr, enc_end );
So why would I need to declare end_ptr as a const as well?
Many thanks,
