char [] []和char **之间的区别,为什么puts(strings [0])无法打印(strings被定义为char ** strings)

标签: c pointers char

如何通过调用如下函数来打印字符串数组:

void function(char**string);    //sample1
void function(char string[][LEN2], int size);    //sample2
void function(char (*string)[LEN2], int size);    //sample3

我认为2和3是正确的;

此问题的正确格式并不重要。

我想知道,计算机如何理解sample1(尤其是在内存中)而不仅仅是记录正确的答案。

谢谢。(我第一次使用,可能有点荒谬。)

使用Visual Studio 2017,关闭安全检查。在PC上运行。

#include<stdio.h>
#define LEN1 10
#define LEN2 100
void item1(char**string);
void print_initial_string(char**string);

int main(void)
{
    char string[LEN1][LEN2] = {"a", "ab", "abc", "abcd", "abcde",
            "c", "cd", "cde", "cdgh", "seids"};
    item1(string);
}

/*implements of functions*/
void item1(char**string)
{
    print_initial_string(string);
}
void print_initial_string(char**string)
{
    char (*c)[LEN2] = string[0];
    for (int i = 0; i < LEN1; i++)
        puts(c);     /*-- stopped at here --*/
}

我认为它将打印字符串,但是失败。

如果我编译时进行gcc -pedantic -Wextra ar.c,则会收到很多指示问题的消息:

pi@raspberrypi:~/Downloads $ gcc -pedantic -Wextra ar.c
ar.c: In function ‘main’:
ar.c:11:11: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘item1’ from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
     item1(string);
           ^~~~~~
ar.c:4:6: note: expected ‘char **’ but argument is of type ‘char (*)[100]’
 void item1(char**string);
      ^~~~~
ar.c: In function ‘print_initial_string’:
ar.c:21:23: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
     char (*c)[LEN2] = string[0];
                       ^~~~~~
ar.c:23:14: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘puts’ from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
         puts(c);     /*-- stopped at here --*/
              ^
In file included from ar.c:1:0:

 extern int puts (const char *__s);
            ^~~~

char**stringchar*的数组,这意味着 string 中的每个条目都是char*(所以是指针),这不是 char string [LEN1] [LEN2] 是因为其中不包含指针

所以void item1(char (*string)[LEN2])void print_initial_string(char (*string)[LEN2])

char (*c)[LEN2] = string[0];也不行, c char * ,但是您说它是指向char[LEN2]的指针,您想{ {1}}或仅char (*c)[LEN2] = &string[0];。在这种情况下,char (*c)[LEN2] = string;必须为puts(c),因为 c 不是字符串,而是指向

的指针

最后:

puts(c[i]);

编译和执行:

#include<stdio.h>

#define LEN1 10
#define LEN2 100

void item1(char (*string)[LEN2]);
void print_initial_string(char (*string)[LEN2]);

int main(void)
{
    char string[LEN1][LEN2] = {"a", "ab", "abc", "abcd", "abcde",
                               "c", "cd", "cde", "cdgh", "seids"};
    item1(string);
}

/*implements of functions*/
void item1(char (*string)[LEN2])
{
    print_initial_string(string);
}
void print_initial_string(char (*string)[LEN2])
{
  char (*c)[LEN2] = string;

  for (int i = 0; i < LEN1; i++)
    puts(c[i]);
}

valgrind 下执行:

pi@raspberrypi:~/Downloads $ gcc -g -pedantic -Wextra ar.c
pi@raspberrypi:~/Downloads $ ./a.out
a
ab
abc
abcd
abcde
c
cd
cde
cdgh
seids

char**

我使用 const 因为文字字符串是const

编译和执行:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define LEN 10

void pr(const char ** a, int sz)
{
  for (int i = 0; i != sz; ++i)
    puts(a[i]);
}

int main()
{
  const char *a[LEN] = { "a", "ab", "abc", "abcd", "abcde",
                         "c", "cd", "cde", "cdgh", "seids"};

  pr(a, LEN);
}

这是我编写的用于了解问题的程序,答案在注释中。

#include<stdio.h>
#define LEN1 10
#define LEN2 100
int main(void)
{
    //first method to define a string array(using array)
    char string0[LEN1][LEN2] = {"a", "ab", "abc", "abcd", "abcde",
                           "c", "cd", "cde", "cdgh", "seids"};
    //char(*c0)[LEN2] = string0;    //right
    char ** c1 = string0;    //wrong!

    //second method to define a string array(using pointer)
    char *string1[LEN1] = { "a", "ab", "abc", "abcd", "abcde",
                        "c", "cd", "cde", "cdgh", "seids" };
    char **c3 = string1;

    //for using array:
    printf("string0 = %p\n", string0);
    printf("string0 + 1 = %p\n", string0 + 1);
    printf("sizeof(string0) = %u\n", sizeof(string0));    //1000
    printf("string0[0] = %p\n", string0[0]);
    printf("string0[0] + 1 = %p\n", string0[0] + 1);
    printf("sizeof(string0[0]) = %u\n", sizeof(string0[0]));    //100

    printf("\n");
    printf("c1 = %p\n", c1);
    printf("sizeof(c1[0]) = %d\n", sizeof(c1[0]));
    printf("c1[0] = %p\n", c1[0]);    //suppose c1[0] is a pointer
    //61
    printf("'a' = %x\n", 'a');    //some thing has been clear
    //61
    /*
    my thinking:
        In c program, the value of a pointer just indecate which memory cell it 
    refers. And what program looks a pointer like may be embodied in the value of
    "sizeof" operator. For example:
        sizeof(string0) = 1000, so string0 is a whole reference of the array.
        sizeof(string0[0]) = 100, so string0[0] is a row in that array.
        If add one to string0, we find it is bigger 100 than old one.
        If add one to string0[0], we find it is bigger 1 than old one.
        Though both of string0 and string0[0] has the same content.

        So, it is not important that string0's and string0[0]'s same content.
        But what will hapen when string0 + 1 and string0[0] + 1.
        pointer + integer = value(pointer) + sizeof(pointer)*integer;
        value(a):the content of a;

        c1's content is same as string0, program regard c1[0] as a pointer.
    But c1[0]'s value is character 'a'. So, the program failed.
