在C语言中什么时候应该使用双重间接?谁能举个例子解释一下吗?
我所知道的是双间接是指向指针的指针。为什么我需要指向指针的指针?

假设你有一个指针。取值为地址。 但现在你想更改地址。 你可以。通过执行pointer1 = pointer2，你给了pointer1一个pointer2的地址。 但是!如果在函数中执行此操作，并且希望结果在函数完成后仍然存在，则需要做一些额外的工作。你需要一个新的pointer3来指向pointer1。将指针3传递给函数。 这里有一个例子。先看看下面的输出，以便理解。
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int c = 1;
int d = 2;
int e = 3;
int * a = &c;
int * b = &d;
int * f = &e;
int ** pp = &a; // pointer to pointer 'a'
printf("\n a's value: %x \n", a);
printf("\n b's value: %x \n", b);
printf("\n f's value: %x \n", f);
printf("\n can we change a?, lets see \n");
printf("\n a = b \n");
a = b;
printf("\n a's value is now: %x, same as 'b'... it seems we can, but can we do it in a function? lets see... \n", a);
printf("\n cant_change(a, f); \n");
cant_change(a, f);
printf("\n a's value is now: %x, Doh! same as 'b'... that function tricked us. \n", a);
printf("\n NOW! lets see if a pointer to a pointer solution can help us... remember that 'pp' point to 'a' \n");
printf("\n change(pp, f); \n");
change(pp, f);
printf("\n a's value is now: %x, YEAH! same as 'f'... that function ROCKS!!!. \n", a);
return 0;
}
void cant_change(int * x, int * z){
x = z;
printf("\n ----> value of 'a' is: %x inside function, same as 'f', BUT will it be the same outside of this function? lets see\n", x);
}
void change(int ** x, int * z){
*x = z;
printf("\n ----> value of 'a' is: %x inside function, same as 'f', BUT will it be the same outside of this function? lets see\n", *x);
}

为什么是双指针?
目标是使用函数改变studentA所指向的对象。
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
typedef struct Person{
char * name;
} Person;
/**
* we need a ponter to a pointer, example: &studentA
*/
void change(Person ** x, Person * y){
*x = y; // since x is a pointer to a pointer, we access its value: a pointer to a Person struct.
}
void dontChange(Person * x, Person * y){
x = y;
}
int main()
{
Person * studentA = (Person *)malloc(sizeof(Person));
studentA->name = "brian";
Person * studentB = (Person *)malloc(sizeof(Person));
studentB->name = "erich";
/**
* we could have done the job as simple as this!
* but we need more work if we want to use a function to do the job!
*/
// studentA = studentB;
printf("1. studentA = %s (not changed)\n", studentA->name);
dontChange(studentA, studentB);
printf("2. studentA = %s (not changed)\n", studentA->name);
change(&studentA, studentB);
printf("3. studentA = %s (changed!)\n", studentA->name);
return 0;
}
/**
* OUTPUT:
* 1. studentA = brian (not changed)
* 2. studentA = brian (not changed)
* 3. studentA = erich (changed!)
*/
1. 基本概念-
当你申报如下:-
1. Char *ch -(称为字符指针) - ch为单个字符的地址。 - (*ch)将解引用字符的值。
2. Char **ch - 'ch'包含字符指针数组的地址。(如1) '*ch'包含单个字符的地址。(注意它与1不同，因为声明不同)。 (**ch)将解引用到字符的确切值..
添加更多指针将扩展数据类型的维度，从字符扩展到字符串，再扩展到字符串数组，等等……你可以把它和一维，二维，三维矩阵联系起来。
指针的用法取决于你如何声明它。
这是一个简单的代码..
int main()
{
char **p;
p = (char **)malloc(100);
p[0] = (char *)"Apple"; // or write *p, points to location of 'A'
p[1] = (char *)"Banana"; // or write *(p+1), points to location of 'B'
cout << *p << endl; //Prints the first pointer location until it finds '\0'
cout << **p << endl; //Prints the exact character which is being pointed
*p++; //Increments for the next string
cout << *p;
}
2. 双指针的另一个应用 (这也包括引用传递)
假设您想从函数中更新一个字符。如果你尝试以下方法:-
void func(char ch)
{
ch = 'B';
}
int main()
{
char ptr;
ptr = 'A';
printf("%c", ptr);
func(ptr);
printf("%c\n", ptr);
}
输出为AA。这是行不通的，因为您已经将“按值传递”传递给了函数。
正确的做法是-
void func( char *ptr) //Passed by Reference
{
*ptr = 'B';
}
int main()
{
char *ptr;
ptr = (char *)malloc(sizeof(char) * 1);
*ptr = 'A';
printf("%c\n", *ptr);
func(ptr);
printf("%c\n", *ptr);
}
现在扩展这个要求，更新字符串而不是字符。 为此，需要将函数中的形参作为双指针接收。
void func(char **str)
{
strcpy(str, "Second");
}
int main()
{
char **str;
// printf("%d\n", sizeof(char));
*str = (char **)malloc(sizeof(char) * 10); //Can hold 10 character pointers
int i = 0;
for(i=0;i<10;i++)
{
str = (char *)malloc(sizeof(char) * 1); //Each pointer can point to a memory of 1 character.
}
strcpy(str, "First");
printf("%s\n", str);
func(str);
printf("%s\n", str);
}
在本例中，method使用双指针作为参数来更新字符串的值。
字符串是使用双指针的一个很好的例子。字符串本身是一个指针，所以任何时候你需要指向一个字符串，你就需要一个双指针。
一个原因是你想要改变传递给函数的作为函数参数的指针的值，要做到这一点，你需要指针指向指针。
简单地说，当你想在函数调用之外保留(或保留)内存分配或分配的变化时，使用**。(因此，传递带有双指针arg的函数。)
这可能不是一个很好的例子，但会告诉你基本的用法:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void allocate(int **p)
{
*p = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int));
}
int main()
{
int *p = NULL;
allocate(&p);
*p = 42;
printf("%d\n", *p);
free(p);
}
