Is this valid initialize of char []

[sandodo]

Thanks, but I tried to init den as following, and I changed the arguments type of const_str1 & const_str2 to const char*

const char* dent[] = {const_str1, const_str2};

the compiler reports (sorry not to give the compiler type, it is cc in HP Unix server):
cc: error 1521: Incorrect initialization.

char const_str[] = "a test";

char* dent[] = {const_str};

The problem is that const_str1, const_str2 are passed into the function as char* type arguments.

That's not a problem. A function with formal parameter of type pointer can always take a compatibly typed array as an actual parameter.
