#include <stdio.h>

int array[10] = {10};

void get_array(int* data)
{
    //*data= array[0];
    data= array;
    printf("data in get_array %d\n", data[0]);
}

int main(void)
{
    int* data ;

    get_array(data);

    printf("data %d\n", data[0]);

    printf("ad data %d\n", &data[0]);

    printf("ad array %d\n", &array[0]);

    return 0;
}

// result :
// PS E:\006-Programing\007-c> ./main        
// data in get_array 10
// data -1327492255
// ad data -1327492176
// ad array 1489338368

From the above, we can see that the address, after being translated, cannot be outputted based on parameter points. However, we can use it as shown below:

#include <stdio.h>

int array[10] = {10};

void get_array(int* data)
{
    *data= array[0];
    // data= array;
    printf("data in get_array %d\n", data[0]);
}

int main(void)
{
    int* data ; // this 

    get_array(data);

    printf("data %d\n", data[0]);

    printf("ad data %d\n", &data[0]);

    printf("ad array %d\n", &array[0]);

    return 0;
}
//result:
// PS E:\006-Programing\007-c> ./main
// data in get_array 10
// data 10
// ad data 1454445488
// ad array 839286784
