Strange error: "Duplicate 'const' keywords not allowed in this context."

Rabbit

Dynamic C has no problem with the following function prototype: void my_function(const int *a, const int b);

On the contrary, this (almost identical) one gives a compilation error: void my_function(const int a, const int *b);

Duplicate ‘const’ keywords not allowed in this context.

And this one too: void my_function(const int a, const int b);

Is it maybe a bug of the compiler?

It’s hard to tell what could be wrong without seeing the actual code. Details on the const keyword are in the DC user manual.

The best thing to do is to put together a short test program demonstrating the issue and send it in to tech.support@digi.com.

Well, here is the shortest test program I can think of:

void my_function(const int a, const int *b);
main(){}

I’m going to send it to tech.support, thank you trooper2.

This is a known and documented compiler issue: https://github.com/digidotcom/DCRabbit_10/commit/419aefed3217aaf3656cd823bc2b74875b7a2d88
