Pointing to arbitrary location

[elmutt]

Hello,

How would I assign a pointer an arbitrary random value like 1234. I want to re point the pointer I don't want to change the value it is pointing to.

I tried and cant really get much to compile. I got this to compile but it doesn't work right:

int *a=0;
int b;

for(b=0;b<1234;b++)
a++;

I was thinking I could create two pointers and point one to the other and reassign that way but I cant get it to compile like this:

int *a;
int *b;
b=&a;
*b=0;

Any help appreciated.

I got it figured out. Use int **a; to point to a pointer

int *a;
int *b;
b=&a;
*b=0;

This won't compile... Or shouldn't, at the very least. And if it does, it will crash.
And what you actually do is:

int* p = (int*)1234;

Not that it will do you any good...
