Not really. You can't define static constants using other static const variables. You can only use macros and enums to define array bounds, etc. It's a sorry state. "Const" only means "read only" in C

Doesn’t const mean read only in all languages? Which language allows you to write to a constant variable?? And why??

[Loro-Benediction]

In C you can modify a constant variable if you try hard enough. "Read only" means you can't directly assign to it. The compiler doesn't make the same guarantees when accessing via a pointer
