Doubt regarding usage of array as a pointer in C
- by Som
For eg. I have an array of structs 'a' as below:
struct mystruct{
int b
int num;
};
struct bigger_struct {
struct my_struct a[10];
}
struct bigger_struct *some_var;
i know that the name of an array when used as a value implicitly refers to the address of the first element of the array.(Which is how the array subscript operator works at-least)
Can i know do the other way around i.e
if i do:
some_var->a->b, it should be equivalent to some_var->a[0]->b, am i right? I have tested this and it seems to work , but is this semantically 100% correct?
