I meant what I said: you are passing "pointer to array[4] of double", > with no const in there, to a function expecting "pointer to array[4] of const > double", and this is not a case permitted by C99 6.5.16.1#1. C does not have > a > type "pointer to const array[4] of double". Let me see if I understood. const double a[4][4] will become a "pointer to array of consts". So when i call my function passing a "pointer to array", teh conversion fails since it's only allowed to apply teh qualifier (const) to teh _pointer type_, which is an array, and not to it's elements as teh function was expecting. Correct me if I'm wrong again please and thanks for your patience.
