array

Why does

static char *opcode_str[] = { "DATA"
                            , "DATA_REQUEST_ACK"
                            , "ACK_TIMER_EXPIRED"
                            , "ACK_UNEXPECTED_SEQ"
                            , "ACK_AS_REQUESTED"
                            } ;

work, but

static char **opcode_str = { "DATA"
                           , "DATA_REQUEST_ACK"
                           , "ACK_TIMER_EXPIRED"
                           , "ACK_UNEXPECTED_SEQ"
                           , "ACK_AS_REQUESTED"
                           } ;

fails with SEGV when opcode_str[0] is printf'd?

I think it's because the second listing has not allocated memory for the five element array of pointers, but I need a more comprehensive explanation.

All the best,

Chris.

I've been learning about 3D for a couple days now. I managed to create a chunk (8x8x8). Add optimization so it only renders the active and visible blocks.

why i add more insignificant code but cost less time

i write a method and when i add some insignificant code it works faster, like these : array[1]=array[1]; array[0]=array[0]; array[3]=array[3]; array[2]=array[2]; i use double t=System.currentTimeMillis(); at first to record the time. then call the method and use System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis()-t);… >>> More

I'm following the ACL tutorial for CakePHP 1.3 and I was wondering if there is a functional difference between declaring a behavior like this: var $actsAs = array('Acl' => 'requester'); and like this: var $actsAs = array('Acl' => array('type' => 'requester')); >>> More
