浅析指针强转相关知识

一.将char型强转为int型

定义一个字符型数组，存放四个字节，字节数同unsigned int 型。
如何将该数组数据转换为unsigned int型数据？

char array[4] = {0x11,0x12,0x13,0x14};
/*将array强转为unsigned int/
unsigned int number = *((unsigned int *)array);
printf("The number value:0x%x\n",number);

解析：

如上图，代码中定义的array数组，假设依次存放在100~103位置，每个位置占一个字节，array表示数组首地址100，当我们用(unsigned int *)array时，unsigned int是4个字节的，所以操作了100～104地址存放的四个字节。然后间接操作符赋值给number。
Print result:

The number value:0x14131211

char array[4] = {0x11,0x12,0x13,0x14};
unsigned int *number = ((unsigned int *)array);
printf("The number value:0x%x\n",number);
printf("The array begin position value:0x%x\n",array);

Print result:

The number value:0xbf8d90c8
The array begin position value:0xbf8d90c8

可见，number的地址和array起始地址相同。如上图，都指向了位置100。

二.将int型强转为char型

char array[4] = {0x11,0x12,0x13,0x14};
unsigned int *number = ((unsigned int *)array);
/*进行字符强转*/
char *ch = ((char *)(number));
printf("ch:0x%x\n",*ch);

Print result:

ch:0x11

拓展：强转后修改字符值

char array[4] = {0x11,0x12,0x13,0x14};
unsigned int *number = ((unsigned int *)array);
/*进行字符强转*/
char *ch = ((char *)(number));
printf("array[0] old value:0x%x\n",array[0]);
*ch = 0x66;
printf("array[0] new value:0x%x\n",array[0]);

Print result:

array[0] old value:0x11
array[0] new value:0x66
