SYMBOL and NAME
|
|
-> - arrow operator
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
p -> X
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
p pointer to an lvalue
|
|
X identifier
|
|
|
|
return lvalue
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
p->X returns the same as (*p).X. Thus the current value of *p is
|
|
to be an object of a type for which X identifies one element.
|
|
p->X then returns the lvalue corresponding to that element of the
|
|
value of *p.
|
|
|
|
The expression *p.X will cause a runtime error since this is
|
|
interpreted as *(p.X) in which p is expected to be an object of
|
|
an appropriate type.
|
|
|
|
Spaces or tabs on either side of -> are optional.
