有什么区别:

char * const 

and

const char *

其他回答

const总是修改在它之前的东西(在它的左边),除非它是类型声明中的第一个东西,在那里它修改在它之后的东西(在它的右边)。

所以这两个是一样的

int const *i1;
const int *i2;

它们定义指向const int类型的指针。你可以改变i1和i2的点,但你不能改变它们的值。

这样的:

int *const i3 = (int*) 0x12345678;

定义一个指向整数的const指针,并将其初始化为指向内存位置12345678。您可以更改地址12345678处的int值,但不能更改i3所指向的地址。

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;
}*/

const修饰符应用于紧挨着它左边的项。唯一的例外是,当它的左边没有任何东西时,它就适用于它右边的东西。

这些都是“指向常量char的常量指针”的等效方式:

Const char * Const Const char Const * Char const * const Char const const *

另一个经验法则是检查const的位置:

* =>之前存储的值为常量 * =>指针本身是常量

两个规则

如果const在char和*之间,它将影响左边的那个。 如果const不在char和*之间,它将影响最近的一个。

e.g.

Char const *。这是一个指向常量char的指针。 Char * const。这是一个指向char类型的常量指针。
