@Bjorn 1st two are correct and mean the same thing except that the 1st one may create some issues when used with typedefs.
The 3rd one is wrong - it should be " const char *const x ==> x is a constant pointer to constant character". Best regards, -Asif PS: The comment is based on my understanding of C++. AFAIK, C treats consts the same as C++.
