const C Keyword const Qualify an identifier as not modifiable The type qualifier const marks an object as being unmodifiable. An object declared as being const cannot be used on the left side of an assignment (an lvalue), or have its value modified in any way. Because of these restrictions, an implementation may place objects declared to be const into a read-only region of storage. ***** See Also ***** C keywords, volatile ***** Notes ***** Mark Williams C recognizes this keyword, but its semantics are not yet implemented. Thus, storage declared with the const qualifier will not be treated as unmodifiable by the compiler, and no warnings will be generated. COHERENT Lexicon Page 1
