CSharp Language Specification

Example

Description

byte*

Pointer to byte

char*

Pointer to char

int**

Pointer to pointer to int

int*[]

Single-dimensional array of pointers to int

void*

Pointer to unknown type

For a given implementation, all pointer types must have the same size and representation.

Unlike C and C++, when multiple pointers are declared in the same declaration, in C# the * is written along with the underlying type only, not as a prefix punctuator on each pointer name. For example

int* pi, pj; // NOT as int *pi, *pj;

The value of a pointer having type T* represents the address of a variable of type T. The pointer indirection operator * (§18.5.1) may be used to access this variable. For example, given

a variable P of type int*, the expression *P denotes the int variable found at the address contained in P.

Like an object reference, a pointer may be null. Applying the indirection operator to a null pointer results in implementation-defined behavior. A pointer with value null is represented by all-bits-zero.

The void* type represents a pointer to an unknown type. Because the referent type is unknown, the indirection operator cannot be applied to a pointer of type void*, nor can any arithmetic be performed on such a pointer. However, a pointer of type void* can be cast to any other pointer type (and vice versa).

Pointer types are a separate category of types. Unlike reference types and value types, pointer types do not inherit from object and no conversions exist between pointer types and object. In particular, boxing and unboxing (§4.3) are not supported for pointers. However, conversions are permitted between different pointer types and between pointer types and the integral types. This is described in §18.4.

A pointer-type cannot be used as a type argument (§4.4), and type inference (§7.5.2) fails on generic method calls that would have inferred a type argument to be a pointer type.

A pointer-type may be used as the type of a volatile field (§10.5.3).

Although pointers can be passed as ref or out parameters, doing so can cause undefined behavior, since the pointer may well be set to point to a local variable which no longer exists when the called method returns, or the fixed object to which it used to point, is no longer fixed. For example:

using System;

class Test


{
static int value = 20;

unsafe static void F(out int* pi1, ref int* pi2) {


int i = 10;
pi1 = &i;

fixed (int* pj = &value) {


// ...
pi2 = pj;
}
}

static void Main() {


int i = 10;
unsafe {
int* px1;
int* px2 = &i;

F(out px1, ref px2);

Console.WriteLine("*px1 = {0}, *px2 = {1}",
*px1, *px2); // undefined behavior
}
}
}

A method can return a value of some type, and that type can be a pointer. For example, when given a pointer to a contiguous sequence of ints, that sequence’s element count, and some other int value, the following method returns the address of that value in that sequence, if a match occurs; otherwise it returns null:

unsafe static int* Find(int* pi, int size, int value) {
for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
if (*pi == value)
return pi;
++pi;
}
return null;
}

In an unsafe context, several constructs are available for operating on pointers:



  • The * operator may be used to perform pointer indirection (§18.5.1).

  • The -> operator may be used to access a member of a struct through a pointer (§18.5.2).

  • The [] operator may be used to index a pointer (§18.5.3).

  • The & operator may be used to obtain the address of a variable (§18.5.4).

  • The ++ and -- operators may be used to increment and decrement pointers (§18.5.5).

  • The + and - operators may be used to perform pointer arithmetic (§18.5.6).

  • The ==, !=, <, >, <=, and => operators may be used to compare pointers (§18.5.7).

  • The stackalloc operator may be used to allocate memory from the call stack (§18.7).

  • The fixed statement may be used to temporarily fix a variable so its address can be obtained (§18.6).
