C++: const and typedef

[Guignon Thomas]

Hello,

Here a sample code the give an error:

typedef char* toto;

class titi{
public:
  void test(const char* t);
};

void titi::test(const toto t){
}

compiling with:
g++ -v test.cc  

gives:

test.cc:8: prototype for `void titi::test(char *)' does not match any in class `titi'
test.cc:5: candidate is: void titi::test(const char *) 

It seams that the const keyword in definition on titi::test is
forgotten.

note that the following work perfectly:
typedef char toto;

class titi{
public:
  void test(const char t);
};

void titi::test(const toto t){
}
