Cを学び始めたばかりですので、よろしくお願いします。ポインタに関してこれまで読んだことから:
int * test1; //this is a pointer which is basically an address to the process
//memory and usually has the size of 2 bytes (not necessarily, I know)
float test2; //this is an actual value and usually has the size of 4 bytes,
//being of float type
test2 = 3.0; //this assigns 3 to `test2`
さて、私が完全に理解していないこと:
*test1 = 3; //does this assign 3 at the address
//specified by `pointerValue`?
test1 = 3; //this says that the pointer is basically pointing
//at the 3rd byte in process memory,
//which is somehow useless, since anything could be there
&test1; //this I really don't get,
//is it the pointer to the pointer?
//Meaning, the address at which the pointer address is kept?
//Is it of any use?
同様に:
*test2; //does this has any sense?
&test2; //is this the address at which the 'test2' value is found?
//If so, it's a pointer, which means that you can have pointers pointing
//both to the heap address space and stack address space.
//I ask because I've always been confused by people who speak about
//pointers only in the heap context.
