const char*, char const* and char *const 的区别

const char*, char const*, char*const的区别问题几乎是C++面试中每次都会有的题目。

事实上这个概念谁都有只是三种声明方式非常相似很容易记混。
Bjarne在他的The C++ Programming Language里面给出过一个助记的方法：
把一个声明从右向左读。

char * const cp; ( * 读成 pointer to )
cp is a const pointer to char

const char * p;
p is a pointer to const char;

char const * p;
同上因为C++里面没有const*的运算符，所以const只能属于前面的类型。


C++标准规定，const关键字放在类型或变量名之前等价的。

const int n=5; //same as below int const m=10;

const int *p; //same as below const (int) * p int const *q; // (int) const *p

char ** p1; // pointer to pointer to char const char **p2; // pointer to pointer to const char char * const * p3; // pointer to const pointer to char const char * const * p4; // pointer to const pointer to const char char ** const p5; // const pointer to pointer to char const char ** const p6; // const pointer to pointer to const char char * const * const p7; // const pointer to const pointer to char const char * const * const p8; // const pointer to const pointer to const char
