Given following code snippets:
int a[10];
int* p=(int*)((&a)+1 );
when I debuged the code using IDE like VC7.1, I found that:
a = 0x0012fc50 (int [10])
p = 0x0012fc78 (int *)
(&a)+1 = 0x0012fc51 (char *)
(&a)+2 = 0x0012fc52 (char *)
(&a)+3 = 0x0012fc53 (char *)
Why p isn't equal to (&a)+1 ? Why "(&a)+1" became "char*" type? 8 4722

Ok, so you take the pointer to the array, add one to it, so it points after
the array. Then you convert that pointer into a pointer to int. Why?

It shouldn't be of type char*. What makes you believe that?
&a is a pointer to array[10] of int, and (&a)+1 should be of the same type.

I take it that you have typed (&a)+1 into the Watch window of the debugger.
The debugger's ability to display values is not perfect (it doesn't always
understand data types that you enter) and what you are seeing is purely a
debugger limitation. For what it is worth, a pre-release version of VC++ 8
shows (&a)+1 correctly and equal to p.

Because of (&a)+1 is doing pointer array. And a is not an int, but an array
of 10 ints. So (&a)+1 would point to the next (theoretical) array of 10
ints which would be sizeof(int)*10 away.
Try
int* p=(int*)(&a[0]+1);
and you should get what you expect, because &a[0] is pointing to an int now.
Yes, I'm using the Watch Window of VC7.1 debugger. And the "char*" type
of "(&a)+1" is showed by the Watch Window. Now that VC8 has fixed this
bug, I'm expecting the formal release of VC8, :)

I would suggest further streamlining:
int *p = &a[1];

Hi all,
I'm not yet good at thinking the right way in c++ so although I could
solve this problem, I'm not sure if they way I'm thinking of is the best
way to do it. I need a data type or class or something that can hold
either an int, or a float, knows which one it is holding, and will allow
me to do comparisons with instances of it without the code which asks
for the comparison having to know which one it is. So maybe I could do
it...

I have a short int variable and I'm trying to read it with
scanf("%d",&x);
but I'm getting a warning message which sounds like this:
warning: format '%d' expects type 'int*', but argument 2 has type
'short int*'
How can I avoid this warning and still read with "scanf"? I mention
that I don't want to use "cout". Maybe this problem is for C (not for C
++), but the program is in C++ because i use after this the Standard
Template Library.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
