我已经阅读了很多关于它的线索和问题并阅读了很多答案,但仍然难以理解差异以及何时应该使用什么?
我认为你应该在需要存储数据时使用char *而你不知道它的大小,因为它是动态的。 另外,我不确定我是否正确,但是如果你宣布一个字母*并为其分配一个如下字面文字,我将会理解: char * ch =" hi&#34 ;; 它是一个你无法改变的常数,如果你试图改变它,你只需将ch指向另一个分配的存储空间来保存新字符串? 如果这样写: char ch = malloc(20); 然后你可以改变价值 如果你这样做: char ch [] =" hi&#34 ;; char pch = ch; 您可以更改值,因为您指向数组并且数组指向ch [0]?
所有以粗体书写的是我对阅读的理解,虽然我可能对我刚才所说的大部分内容都错了,这就是为什么我需要一个非常好的简单解释所以我可以一次并且所有人都了解这些差异以及何时应该使用什么。
编辑:
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
char ch[] = "Hello";
char *p1 = ch;
char *p2 = p1;
char *p3 = *p1;
printf("ch : %s\n", ch);
printf("p1 address [%d] value is %s\n", p1, *p1);
printf("p2 address [%d] value is %s\n", p2, *p2);
printf("p3 address [%d] value is %s\n", p3, *p3);
return 0;
}
答案 0 :(得分:14)
最直截了当的答案是:
这里的区别在于
char *s = "Hello world";
将Hello world放在内存的只读部分并制作 是指向它的指针,在这个内存上进行任何写操作 非法。在做的时候:
char s[] = "Hello world";
将文字字符串放在只读内存中并将字符串复制到 堆栈上新分配的内存。从而制作
s[0] = 'J';
合法的。
更长的解释将包括存储内存的段,以及分配的内存量:
Example: Allocation Type: Read/Write: Storage Location: Memory Used (Bytes):
===========================================================================================================
const char* str = "Stack"; Static Read-only Code segment 6 (5 chars plus '\0')
char* str = "Stack"; Static Read-only Code segment 6 (5 chars plus '\0')
char* str = malloc(...); Dynamic Read-write Heap Amount passed to malloc
char str[] = "Stack"; Static Read-write Stack 6 (5 chars plus '\0')
char strGlobal[10] = "Global"; Static Read-write Data Segment (R/W) 10

要解决问题中的修改以及随之发布的评论,我已在您的解决方案中添加了注释:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
char ch[] = "Hello"; /* OK; Creating an array of 6 bytes to store
* 'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '\0'
*/
char *p1 = ch; /* OK; Creating a pointer that points to the
* "Hello" string.
*/
char *p2 = p1; /* OK; Creating a second pointer that also
* points to the "Hello" string.
*/
char *p3 = *p1; /* BAD; You are assigning an actual character
* (*p1) to a pointer-to-char variable (p3);
* It might be more intuitive if written in
* 2 lines:
* char* p3;
* p3 = *p1; //BAD
*/
printf("ch : %s\n", ch); /* OK */
printf("p1 address [%d] value is %s\n", p1, *p1); /* Bad format specifiers */
printf("p2 address [%d] value is %s\n", p2, *p2); /* Bad format specifiers */
printf("p3 address [%d] value is %s\n", p3, *p3); /* Bad format specifiers */
return 0;
}
所以,三个主要错误。
char
变量分配pointer-to-char
值。您的编译器应该警告您这一点。 (char *p3 = *p1
)。%p
格式说明符来打印地址而不是%d
(整数)格式说明符。%s
数据类型的字符串char
说明符(即:printf("%s", 'c')
错误)。如果要打印单个字符,则使用%c
格式说明符,匹配参数应为字符(即:&#39; c&#39;,char b等)。如果要打印整个字符串,则使用%s
格式说明符,参数为指向char的指针。<强>实施例强>
#include <stdio.h>

printf("p1 address [%p] value is %s\n", p1, p1); /* Fixed format specifiers */
