c函数、数组、指针和调试器gdb--指针（C function, array, pointer and pointer gdb-- debugger） Address and pointer Pointer is an important part of C language. Flexible use of pointers can solve many problems. At the same time, pointer is also a difficult point, even programmers with rich programming experience sometimes feel confused when debugging programs with pointer errors. The first variable in a program, which allocates one memory to the value of the variable, is used to compile the program, for example: Char c =A; Int i = 100; The compiler allocated 1 bytes and 4 bytes of storage space to the variable C, I, respectively. Each byte in memory has a number, the first byte is compiled as 0, the second is compiled as 1... This number is the address of memory. Suppose a pointer variable p is defined: Char *p = c; This pointer variable, P, is used to store the address of a char type variable. We initialize it in the definition of the variables, the address of the variable C to the variable p, C for variable C address. The variable p stores an address, which is the value of the memory address of the variable. At this point, we say pointer P points to the variable C. The following statement uses the variable p: Char C2 = *p + 1; The meaning of * P is to obtain the value of the variable pointed by the pointer variable p, that is, to obtain the value of the variable C A, so the value of the variable C2 is B. Note: char * P defines a pointer to the char type variable. P stores the address of a char type variable, and then the * P is the value of the variable that the pointer P points to, and c gets the address of the variable C. Two, the definition and use of pointer Pointers in C language are variables that are used to store memory addresses. Each pointer has a data type associated with it, which determines the type of the variable to which the pointer is pointing. For example, a char pointer can only point to the char type variable. The C language uses * to declare an identifier as a poi
