Basic pointer
The following sourcecode demonstrates the basic pointer:
#include <stdio.h>
int main( void ) {
int x = 100;
int *pointer;
pointer = &x; // Set pointer to address of <x>
printf("Value of int <pointer> points to: %d\n", *pointer);
printf("The address contained in <pointer> %p\n", pointer);
printf("The address of <x> %p - Should be the same as the above address!\n", &x);
printf("The <pointer> has it's own address also, which is %p\n", &pointer);
return(0);
}
Review of C Pointer Declarations
| int *p | p is a pointer to int |
| int *p[13] | p is an array[13] of pointer to int |
| int *(p[13]) | p is an array[13] of pointer to int |
| int **p | p is a pointer to a pointer to an int |
| int (*p)[13] | p is a pointer to an array[13] of int |
| int *f() | f is a function returning a pointer to int |
| int (*f)() | f is a pointer to a function returning int |
| int (*(*f())[13])() | f is a function returning ptr to an array[13] of pointers to functions returning int |
| int (*(*x[3])())[5] | x is an array[3] of pointers to functions returning pointers to array[5] of ints |
