Re: Keil c51 interprets &Array as Array. Is that normal?

Is this normal?
MSVC 6 issues a warning (C4047).

'Array' should cast seamlessly to 'pointer to char'; &Array should cast
to 'pointer to pointer to char'.

Are you sure that Kiel does it so that &Array == Array? I can't see how
Array is an lvalue here, if it isn't it'd be hard to take it's address.
