|
||
|
<p>In ISO C99, arrays that are not lvalues still decay to pointers, and
|
||
|
may be subscripted, although they may not be modified or used after
|
||
|
the next sequence point and the unary ‘<samp>&</samp>’ operator may not be
|
||
|
applied to them. As an extension, GNU C allows such arrays to be
|
||
|
subscripted in C90 mode, though otherwise they do not decay to
|
||
|
pointers outside C99 mode. For example,
|
||
|
this is valid in GNU C though not valid in C90:
|
||
|

|
struct foo f();
|
||
|
|
||
|
bar (int index)
|
||
|
{
|
||
|
return f().a[index];
|
||
|
}
|

|
