Hello All,

I am having some troubles working in MQL4 with object pointers. The above code is an example to demonstrate the dificulties that I am having. In this code I declare 3 pointers to a class "CData" the first is a "normal" pointer called DataPointer, the second is a pointer to a constant CData object and finally the third is a constant pointer to a CData object.

The normal pointer DataPointer allows writting to its elements as expected:

DataPointer.Data[0]=1; // Writes to DataPointer
DataPointer.Data[1]=2;

The pointer to a constant CData object doesn't allow as expected, and doing so causes a compilation error:

ConstData.Data[0]=10; // Invalid, pointer to constant CData, writting not allowed.

The constant pointer to a CData object allows writting to its elements as expected because only the pointer itself is constant:

ConstPointer.Data[0]=10; // Valid, only pointer is constant.

Now the part that gets me confused is that the pointer to a constant CData object can not be made to point anywhere else as it should. The following line causes a compilation error :(

ConstData=new CData(2); // Should be valid, only data is constant, not the pointer!??!?!.

In any other object oriented programming language that I know this is allowed, is this a language bug? Or is it a feature of MQL4? I also searched the documentation and the forum to see if I am using that correct syntax and found nothing. Could anyone help me on this issue?

Thanks :)
