Re: pointer initialization of string constant

Dear progga U are right. But my doubt is : when i run gdb and execute p ptr either just after or before printf, pbc has been displayed. I'm getting segmentation fault only at the end, it seems, because when i run ./a.out "pbc is not displayed" but prompted segmentation fault error. why is it so?
