Re: Signedness of char and puts()

Hi Ed,

Does anyone know why this occurs? 

Those are three different types.
+ char
+ unsigned char
+ signed char

"Hello" is a char*, not an unsigned char* or signed char*.

(In C++ "Hello" is a char const*.)

Isn't "Hello" technically const in C also, since -fwrite-strings was (thankfully, rightly) killed?
