In the following program...
==========
int main()
{
	static char msg[] = "Error"; // select "Error"
	return 0;
}
==========

If you select "Error" (on line 3), and invoke the Extract Constant refactoring, CDT produces the following incorrect code:

==========
int main()
{
	const char* extracted_constant = "Error";
	static char msg[] = extracted_constant; // select "Error"
	return 0;
}
==========

The extracted variable is of type const char*. So, it cannot be an initializer for static char msg[].
