c - WHY the following program is not giving error? -
#include<stdio.h> void main () { int a=4; const int *p=&a; *p--; } in above line means can not change value via p, in decrement statement should give error not giving error. can explain why??
*p-- decrements p not contents of p.
if (*p)-- compilation error
error: decrement of read-only location ‘*p’
