and

const char *

其他回答

这里x基本上是一个字符指针,指向一个常数值 Char * const x是一个字符指针,它是一个常量,但是它指向的位置可以改变。 Const char* Const x是1和2的组合,意味着它是一个指向常量值的常量字符指针。 Const *char x将导致编译器错误。它不能被宣布。 Char const * x等于点1。

经验法则是,如果const是var名称,那么指针将是常量,但指向的位置可以改变,否则指针将指向一个常量位置,指针可以指向另一个位置,但指向的位置内容不能改变。

常量指针:在整个程序中,常量指针只能指向相应数据类型的单个变量。我们可以改变指针所指向的变量的值。初始化应该在声明本身的时候进行。

语法:

datatype *const var;

Char *const属于这种情况。

/*program to illustrate the behaviour of constant pointer */

#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
  int a=10;
  int *const ptr=&a;
  *ptr=100;/* we can change the value of object but we cannot point it to another variable.suppose another variable int b=20; and ptr=&b; gives you error*/
  printf("%d",*ptr);
  return 0;
}

指向const值的指针:在这种情况下,指针可以指向任意数量的相应类型的变量,但不能改变指针在特定时间所指向的对象的值。

语法:

Const *var数据类型

Const char*属于这种情况。

/* program to illustrate the behavior of pointer to a constant*/

   #include<stdio.h>
   int main(){
       int a=10,b=20;
       int const *ptr=&a;
       printf("%d\n",*ptr);
       /*  *ptr=100 is not possible i.e we cannot change the value of the object pointed by the pointer*/
       ptr=&b;
       printf("%d",*ptr);
       /*we can point it to another object*/
       return 0;
    }

为了避免混淆,总是附加const限定符。

int       *      mutable_pointer_to_mutable_int;
int const *      mutable_pointer_to_constant_int;
int       *const constant_pointer_to_mutable_int;
int const *const constant_pointer_to_constant_int;

// Observing cases when we get error and warning would help
// understanding it better.

int main(void)
{
  char ca1[10]= "aaaa"; // char array 1
  char ca2[10]= "bbbb"; // char array 2

  char *pca1= ca1;
  char *pca2= ca2;

  char const *ccs= pca1;
  char * const csc= pca2;
  ccs[1]='m';  // Bad - error: assignment of read-only location ‘*(ccs + 1u)’
  ccs= csc;    // Good

  csc[1]='n';  // Good
  csc= ccs;    // Bad - error: assignment of read-only variable ‘csc’

  char const **ccss= &ccs;     // Good
  char const **ccss1= &csc;    // Bad - warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type

                               //                qualifier from pointer target type

  *ccss[1]= 'x'; // Bad - error: assignment of read-only location ‘**(ccss + 8u)’

  *cscs[1]= 'y'; // Good

  cssc= cscs;    // Bad - error: assignment of read-only variable ‘cssc’
  cssc= cssc1;   // Bad - error: assignment of read-only variable ‘cssc’
}

这里是一个详细的解释与代码

/*const char * p;
char * const p; 
const char * const p;*/ // these are the three conditions,

// const char *p;const char * const p; pointer value cannot be changed

// char * const p; pointer address cannot be changed

// const char * const p; both cannot be changed.

#include<stdio.h>

/*int main()
{
    const char * p; // value cannot be changed
    char z;
    //*p = 'c'; // this will not work
    p = &z;
    printf(" %c\n",*p);
    return 0;
}*/

/*int main()
{
    char * const p; // address cannot be changed
    char z;
    *p = 'c'; 
    //p = &z;   // this will not work
    printf(" %c\n",*p);
    return 0;
}*/



/*int main()
{
    const char * const p; // both address and value cannot be changed
    char z;
    *p = 'c'; // this will not work
    p = &z; // this will not work
    printf(" %c\n",*p);
    return 0;
}*/
