Hi
I am having hard time understanding pointers, addr, cstrings.
var i: cstring = "a"
var pi: ptr cstring = i.addr
echo repr(i)
echo repr(pi)
Output:
005BC058"a"
ref 004477F8 --> 005BC070"a"
My understanding is this. First we declare variable i and assign string "a"
there. As first line of output says, "a" is kept in ...058 cell of memory so in
fact i contains address of this cell. Now we are declaring pointer pi and
assign address of i. Is it that pi points to i that points to ...058 memory
which contains "a"? As I understand from second ouput line address of pi
variable is ...77F8, but then it is suggesting that "a" is in memory cell C070.
I am a bit confused. Could you help me understand?
