C pointer array scope and function calls
- by juvenis
I have this situation:
{
float foo[10];
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
foo[i] = 1.0f;
}
object.function1(foo); // stores the float pointer to a const void* member of object
}
object.function2(); // uses the stored void pointer
Are the contents of the float pointer unknown in the second function call? It seems that I get weird results when I run my program. But if I declare the float foo[10] to be const and initialize it in the declaration, I get correct results. Why is this happening?
