[英]How can I fix a pointer error in C?
I am starting to learn about pointers in C. 我开始学习C语言中的指针。
How can I fix the error that I have in function x()
? 如何解决函数x()
的错误?
This is the error: 这是错误:
Error: a value of type "char" cannot be assigned to an entity of type "char *".
This is the full source: 这是完整的来源:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdarg.h>
void x(char **d, char s[]) {
d = s[0]; // here i have the problem
}
void main() {
char *p = NULL;
x(&p, "abc");
}
In function x()
you pass d
which is a char **
(a pointer to a string pointer), and char s[]
(an array of char
, passed as similarly to a pointer to char
). 在函数x()
,传递d
它是char **
(指向字符串指针的指针))和char s[]
( char
的数组,类似于传递给char
的指针)。
So in the line: 所以在这一行:
d = s[0];
s[0]
is a char
, whereas char **d
is a pointer to a pointer to char
. s[0]
是一个char
,而char **d
是一个指向char
的指针。 These are different, and the compiler is saying you cannot assign from one to the other. 这些是不同的,编译器说您不能从一个分配到另一个。
However, did your compiler really warn you as follows? 但是,您的编译器是否确实向您发出以下警告?
Error: a value of type "char" cannot be assigned to an entity of type "char *"
Given the code sample, it should have said char **
at the end. 给定代码示例,它应该在末尾说char **
。
I think what you are trying to make x
do is copy the address of the string passed as the second argument into the first pointer. 我认为您正在尝试使x
做的是将作为第二个参数传递的字符串的地址复制到第一个指针中。 That would be: 那将是:
void x(char **d, char *s)
{
*d = s;
}
That makes p
in the caller point to the constant xyz
string but does not copy the contents. 这使调用者中的p
指向常量xyz
字符串,但不复制内容。
If the idea was to copy the string's contents: 如果要复制字符串的内容,请执行以下操作:
void x(char **d, char *s)
{
*d = strdup(s);
}
and ensure you remember to free()
the return value in main()
, as well as adding #include <string.h>
at the top. 并确保您记得在main()
中将free()
返回值,以及在顶部添加#include <string.h>
。
Here's what you can do, so it would compile in two versions. 这是您可以执行的操作,因此它将编译为两个版本。
Version 1. 版本1。
void x(char **d, char s[]) {
d = (char**)s[0];
}
or Version 2. 或版本2。
void x(char **d, char *s) {
*d = s;
}
Hope this helps. 希望这可以帮助。
A more proper way would be to use strcpy
: 一种更合适的方法是使用strcpy
:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdarg.h>
void x(char **d) {
*d = malloc(4 * sizeof(char));
strcpy(*d, "abc");
}
int main() {
char *p;
x(&p);
printf("%s", p);
free(p);
return 0;
}
Outputs: abc 输出:abc
