constant to character converter

[amitk3553 7]

Hello,

 

Please explain me the meaning of following line:

 

const char * function() const {return "Hello world";} in systemC

 

 

 

 

Thanks with Regards

This is a plain C++ question. The meaning of this line is not specific to SystemC.

 

The line defines a const (member) function, returning a pointer to const char (known as "C string").

In the implementation, the constant character string "Hello world" is returned.
