In C ...

If you're talking about the difference between function parameters declared as char[] or char*, then I would say there is absolutely no difference of any kind.

If you're talking about the difference between variables declared as char[N] or char * (where N is an integer), then one additional difference not mentioned in Banfa's link is that sizeof(char[N]) is N, but sizeof(char*) is the size of a pointer.
