@gudenau right, the first pointer is just a normal pointer, but the second pointer is a (const void *), so it must point at something const. at least, that's how i read it.

@gudenau sorry, that should read:

pointer to a const void pointer

@gudenau ahh, gotcha.

i haven't seen that specific syntax used before, but i was speculating that the second pointer is actually a pointer to a const something.

so it's like a void pointer to a const void pointer. at least that was how i read it.

@pandora_parrot this really resonates with me as well, thanks for sharing.

@kyzh i appreciate the deeper explanation.

and yeah, i've learned a lot from asking questions around here. hence my inquiry, i wasn't sure if i was understanding correctly.

@kyzh got it, thanks =)

@kyzh noob question, what is a polycule?

is this just like a hangout group or something more /interesting/ XD

@gudenau a void pointer to a const pointer named vals?

some sort of devilish double pointer crazyness, sorry for the crap link it was the first i could find.

@mdszy seems like a good time for a GPK nostalgia-laden rebirth

@mdszy that /is/ creepy!

i'm guessing some sort of html/javascript in the emails?

just saw this, it's a binary release of vscode without the microsoft branding, telemetry, and licensing.

i'm not a huge vscode user, but i'll check it out again.
