为什么将数组的地址分配给指针“my_pointer = &my_array"会出现编译错误?

问题描述:

int my_array[5] = {0};
int *my_pointer = 0;

my_pointer = &my_array;  // compiler error
my_pointer = my_array;   // ok

如果 my_array 是数组的地址,那么 &my_array 给我什么?

If my_array is address of array then what does &my_array gives me?

我收到以下编译器错误:

I get the following compiler error:

错误:无法在赋值中将 'int (*)[5]' 转换为 'int*'

error: cannot convert 'int (*)[5]' to 'int*' in assignment

my_array 是一个包含 5 个整数的数组的名称.编译器很乐意将其转换为指向单个整数的指针.

my_array is the name of an array of 5 integers. The compiler will happily convert it to a pointer to a single integer.

&my_array 是一个指向 5 个整数数组的指针.编译器不会将整数数组视为单个整数,因此拒绝进行转换.

&my_array is a pointer to an array of 5 integers. The compiler will not treat an array of integers as a single integer, thus it refuses to make the conversion.
