Why does the first printf() output 1 and the second one 8589934593? EDIT: Why does the second one output exactly 8589934593 and not some other number?
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
int *intPtr = NULL;
long *longPtr = NULL;
int array[5] = {0,1,2,3,4};
intPtr = &array[1];
longPtr = &array[1];
printf("%d\n", *intPtr);
printf("%ld\n", *longPtr);
}
Because it's undefined behavior. Pointing a long*
to the address of an int
and acting like it's a long
violates the strict aliasing rule, giving you undefined behavior.
