I am using Visual Studio.NET 2003, and to my surprise, the below code
in a simple console application does not work for me:
char *str = "hello!";
*str = 'H'; <-- error
str[0] = 'H'; <-- error
The above code compiles just fine, but I am getting runtime errors.
If managed extensions are used, I'm getting "Objest reference is not
set to an object." If I disable managed extensions, I get "Access
violation" errors.
Any suggestions?
TIA! 7 1292
The string "Hello!" is a const value that is located in a read-only area of
memory. When you try to change the first character of the string with *str =
'H' and str[0]=h you are attempting to overwrite read-only memory and that is
why you are getting an exception.
Use something like this if you want to be able to overwrite your string.
char *tmp[] = "Hello!"
char *str = tmp;
*str = 'H';
str[0] = 'H';

You can't assign to a string literal. It's type is "const char[]". Your
declaration should therefore be:
const char *str = "hello!";
The "const" can be omitted for backwards compatibility with C but it's still
illegal to write to this space. You should therefore specify the "const". If
you wnat to modify it then copy it instead:
char str[] = "hello!";
char *tmp[] = "Hello!"
should have been
char tmp[] = "Hello!"

The line:

should be:
char tmp[] = "Hello!"

You don't need "tmp". This will do fine:
char str[] = "Hello!";
*str = 'H';
str[0] = 'H';

UU:
When you write
char *str = "hello!";
the string is (or at least may be) in read-only memory. That is why you
get a runtime error when you try to change it. In fact in C++ you should
write
const char *str = "hello!";
and then
*str = 'H';
will fail to compile. The form
char *str = "hello!";
is only allowed to provide compatibility with legacy C code. Don't do it!
