3/7     I have a C question.  I have the following source code in two identical
        files t.c and t.cpp:
                #include <stdlib.h>
                int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
                  const char * const * p1;
                  const char * * p2;

            std::string str("foo");
            return str;
        }
        void foo(char *s);

           The first const in your example is bad, I believe; it should

        \_ If it's a pointer or reference, then you can't change the contents.

5/10    I'm trying to port a small project from builsing with MS Visual Studio
        to GCC in MinGW on windows.  Only 1 line is having a compile error.
        Using STL, the line
        if(hashmap->find(key)!=0)
        Has the following error:
