This is the problem. > The buffer doesn't change. It's its contents that change. I will try > removing the const. The buffer is its contents. As an array rather than a pointer the address of its first element will never change with or without the const. The const is saying the elements' values are constant. Constant at zero since it's a static and not initialised to anything else. > Why are the filetypes coming out as zero, rather than some other > value? Because the compiler can assume the contents of a static const array that's not initialised to anything are zero and doesn't need to load from memory; check the assembler.
