        <pre>The code is as follow:

#include <iostream>

void test(const int *data, int dimension)
{
    const int (*m)[dimension] = reinterpret_cast<const
int(*)[dimension]>(data);

    for (int i = 0; i < dimension; ++i) {
        for (int j = 0; j < dimension; ++j)
            std::cout << m[i][j] << " ";

        std::cout << std::endl;
    }
}

int main()
{
    int data[][2] = { {1, 2}, {3, 4} };
    test(*data, 2);
    return 0;
}

clang rejects the code:

 error: cannot initialize a variable of type 'const int (*)[dimension]' with an
      rvalue of type 'const int (*)[dimension]'
    const int (*m)[dimension] = reinterpret_cast<const
int(*)[dimension]>(data);

gcc accepts it. 

My gcc is 9.0.0 and my clang is 7.0.0.</pre>
