Rule 5-0-19: array of pointer, instead of, pointer to array - fakoor - 14-12-2010
Regarding these declarations:
Code:
int8_t * ptr6[ 10 ];
int8_t ** ptr7[ 10 ];There are two type of explanations used:
- pointer to array of some data type
- array of pointer to some data type
In "Explanation of types" section, it is stated:
Quote:ptr6 is of type pointer to array of int8_t
Actually, it was expected to be stated this way:
ptr6 is of type array of pointer to int8_t
As a comparison, it is stated some lines later that:
Quote:ptr7 is of type array of pointer to pointer to int8_t
which is exactly accurate.
What is your idea?

As you point out, ptr6 is an array of pointer to int. This will be corrected in the upcoming TC.
