Thread: Space allocated for character string

An array name is not a normal variable. The array name is resolved by the compiler at compile time as the address of the first element of the array. So the array name by itself IS a "char *".

Code:

char pszMessage[LS_MAX_ERROR_MESSAGE_LENGTH] = "";

This is an array of chars. This is correct!

Code:

char* pszMessage[LS_MAX_ERROR_MESSAGE_LENGTH] = "";

This is an array of pointers to chars, not what you want!
