Compiling source here I found dm c++ returns error for some specific syntax:

static void Func(...)
{
  ...
  VECTOR const& E = Superellipsoid->Power;
                  ^
  source\super.cpp(480) : Error: type qualifiers and static can only appear
  in outermost array of function parameter

This construction compiled fine with gcc (various ports), intel c++, visual c++, borland c++ and two mac compilers. But error appeared in Digital Mars C++. Intentional or accidental ? Any idea ? I already solved it own way but I report it here in case it can be a bug. VECTOR type is as follow:

#define DBL double
typedef DBL VECTOR[3];

Do you need more informations ?

I fixed a similar problem in the latest beta. Try it and see if the problem goes away, if not, a small reproducible example showing the problem would be nice. -Walter

Ok. I have tested latest beta and the problem is still there but error message is different: "need explicit cast to convert". Here is small code similiar to original file as much as possible:


    typedef double VECTOR[3];
    typedef struct Object_Struct OBJECT;

    struct Object_Struct
    {
      VECTOR Power;
    };

    static void Superellipsoid_Normal(OBJECT *Object)
    {
      VECTOR const& E = Object->Power;
    }

and here is command and output:

  sc -c source\super.cpp -odmdos\obj\src\super.obj -mn -6 -ff -WA -Ae
    VECTOR const& E = Object->Power;
                                   ^
  source\super.cpp(11) : Error: need explicit cast to convert
  from: double **
  to  : double [const 3]*

Above small code is still correctly compiled with other compilers.
Should I additionally make posting follow http://www.digitalmars.com/bugs.html ?

I can take it from  here. Thanks! -Walter
