const char*和char const*以及char*const

redswallow posted @ Fri, 09 Jul 2010 15:12:22 +0800 in c/c++/c# , 1710 readers

const char*, char const*, char*const的区别问题几乎是C++面试中每次都会有的题目。

事 实上这个概念谁都有,只是三种声明方式非常相似很容易记混。
Bjarne在他的The C++ Programming Language里面给出过一个助记的方法：
把一个声明从右向左读。

char * const cp; ( * 读成 pointer to )
cp is a const pointer to char

const char * p;
p is a pointer to const char;

char const * p;
同上因为C++里面没有const*的运算符， 所以const只能属于前面的类型。


C++标准规定，const关键字放在类型或变量名之前等价的。

 

const int n=5;    //same as below
int const m=10;

 

const int *p;    //same as below  const (int) * p
int const *q;    // (int) const *p

 

char ** p1; 
//    pointer to    pointer to    char 
const char **p2;
//    pointer to    pointer to const char 
char * const * p3;
//    pointer to const pointer to    char 
const char * const * p4;
//    pointer to const pointer to const char 
char ** const p5;
// const pointer to    pointer to    char 
const char ** const p6;
// const pointer to    pointer to const char 
char * const * const p7;
// const pointer to const pointer to    char 
const char * const * const p8;
// const pointer to const pointer to const char

 

说到这里，我们可以看一道以前Google的笔试题：

［题目］const char *p="hello";
       foo(&p);//函数foo(const char **pp)
下面说法正确的是［］
A.函数foo()不能改变p指向的字符串内容
B.函数foo()不能使指针p指向malloc 生成的地址
C.函数foo()可以使p指向新的字符串常量
D.函数foo()可以把p赋值为 NULL.

至于这道题的答案是众说纷纭。针对上面这道题，我们可以用下面的程序测试：

 

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


void foo(const char **pp)
{
//    *pp=NULL;
//    *pp="Hello world!";
        *pp = (char *) malloc(10);
        snprintf(*pp, 10, "hi google!");
//       (*pp)[1] = 'x';

}

int
main()
{
    const char *p="hello";
    printf("before foo %s\n",p);
    foo(&p);
    printf("after foo %s\n",p);
    p[1] = 'x';

    return;
}



结论如下：

  1. 在foo函数中，可以使main函数中p指向的新的字符串常量。
  2. 在foo函数中，可以使main函数中的p指向 NULL。
  3. 在foo函数中，可以使main函数中的p指向由malloc生成的内存块，并可以在main中用free释放，但是会有 警告。但是注意，即使在foo中让p指向了由malloc生成的内存块，但是仍旧不能用p[1]='x';这样的语句改变p指向的内容。
  4. 在 foo中，不能用(*pp)[1]='x';这样的语句改变p的内容。

      所以，感觉gcc只是根据const的字面的意思对其作了限制，即对于const char*p这样的指针，不管后来p实际指向malloc的内存或者常量的内存，均不能用p[1]='x'这样的语句改变其内容。但是很奇怪，在foo里 面，对p指向malloc的内存后，可以用snprintf之类的函数修改其内容

I’m impressed, I must say. Really rarely can i encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail for the head. Your idea is outstanding; the problem is something which there are not enough persons are speaking intelligently about. My business is very happy i found this around my search for something concerning this.

And with most origin films, this one spent considerable time in establishing the ground rules for discovery of powers, the relationships between characters, all primed for action sequences in between long drawn narratives building up toward that inevitable big bang conclusion which contained everything but the kitchen sink.

Your concept is outstanding; the issue is something that too little people are speaking intelligently about.
