通过指针使用C中的数组吗？

Question

In a question I posted here: C++ - class issue

One of the replies, which was from @SanSS mentioned the following part of the reply:

Arrays in C are used through pointers...

How is this done? And, can you clarify this by an example if possible?

Thanks.

Answer 1

What is meant by that could be a couple of things:

1) the subscript operator is defined in terms of pointer arithmetic. C99 6.5.2.1/2 "Array subscripting" says:

The definition of the subscript operator [] is that E1[E2] is identical to (*((E1)+(E2))).

As an example, assume you have an array declated like so: char s[] = "012345";

All of the following evaluate to '4':

• s[4]
• *(s + 4)
• 4[s] - this unusual construct might surprise you, but because of the way that subscripting is defined by the standard, this is equivalent to *(4 + s) , which is the same as *(s + 4) and the same as s[4] .

2) (closely related to the above) array names evaluate to pointers to the first element of the array in most expressions (being the operand to the sizeof operation being the main exception).

sorry for my english.
