引用的符号是&,指针的符号是*
先来看看一段测试代码,
1: #include "stdafx.h"
2: #include
3: using namespace std;
4: int globalJ =999;
5: 6: //返回值
7: int test1()
8: {9: int j =1;
10: cout<<"in test1(),[return value] the varaible j's address :"<<&j<11:12: return j;13: }14:15: //使用局部变量,返回引用16: int& test2()17: {18: int j =998;19: cout<<"in test2(),[use field variable and return reference] the local varaible J's address :"<<&j< 20: cout<<"in test2(),[use field variable and return reference] the local varaible J's value :"<21:22: return j;23: }24:25: //使用全局变量,返回引用26: int& test3()27: {28:29: cout<<"in test3(),[use global variable and return reference] the varaible globalJ's address :"<<&globalJ<30:31: return globalJ;32: }33:34:35: //返回指针36: int* test4()37: {38: int j =998;39: cout<<"in test4(),[use field variable and return pointer] the local varaible J's address :"<<&j< 40: cout<<"in test4(),[use field variable and return pointer] the local varaible J's value :"<41:42:43: return &j;44: }45: //返回指针46: int* test5()47: {48: cout<<"in test5()[use global variable and return pointer] , the varaible globalJ's address :"<<&globalJ< 49: return &globalJ;50: }51:52:53: int main(int argc, char* argv[])54: {55: printf("Hello functions!\n");56:57: int testresultvalue =0;58: testresultvalue = test1();59: cout<<"testResultValue address :"<<&testresultvalue < 60: cout<<"testResultValue value:"< 61: cout<<"slit line----------------------------------"<62:63:64: int & testResultReference = test2();65: cout<<"testResultReference address :"<<&testResultReference < 66: cout<<"testResultReference value:"< 67: cout<<"slit line----------------------------------"<68:69: testResultReference = test3();70: cout<<"testResultReference address :"<<&testResultReference < 71: cout<<"testResultReference value:"<72: testResultReference = 4;73: cout<<"reset to 4"< 74: cout<<"testResultReference address :"<<&testResultReference < 75: cout<<"testResultReference value:"<76:77: cout<<"slit line----------------------------------"<78:79: int & testResultReference2 = test3();80: cout<<"testResultReference2 address :"<<&testResultReference2 < 81: cout<<"testResultReference2 value:"< 82: cout<<"slit line----------------------------------"<83:84: int* testResultPtr;85: testResultPtr = test4();86: cout<<"testResult address :"< 87: cout<<"testResult value:"<<*testResultPtr< 88: cout<<"slit line----------------------------------"<89:90: testResultPtr = test5();91: cout<<"testResult address :"< 92: cout<<"testResult value:"<<*testResultPtr< 93: cout<<"slit line----------------------------------"<94:95:96:97: int temp;98: cin>>temp;99:100: return 0;101: }102:
然后我们来分析结果,
test1 是返回值,没有什么好说的。
test2
本地变量的J的值是998,引用后得到的值是1245056. 因为在function作用域以外这块内存的东西就被释放掉了,所以值就不一致了。实际上,应该用全局变量(或类变量)。
注意:J的内存地址和引用变量的地址是一样的。
在编译中会报警告信息:
warning C4172: returning address of local variable or temporary
test3
globalJ全局变量的地址是00478DC0,但引用变量testresultreference的内存地址仍然是0012FF14。
结论:引用变量一次赋值后即为只读,即使再次赋值,其引用对象不变。
根据上面的情况我们新定义一个引用变量testresultreference2, globalJ的地址和引用变量地址是一致的。
test4
这个例子跟引用有点相似。虽然指针指向的仍是本地变量的地址,但值发生了改变。
结论:指针指向局部变量,一旦超出变量域,值就有问题了。
test5
结论:请注意指针变量可以多次赋值,这样就改变了指向的对象。这点跟引用对象的使用方式不同。
