No you can't, at least not if you want code that is guaranteed to work. Your suggestion will fail on real systems. The correct way to print the value of a pointer is printf("%p",(void*)p); Your first suggestion [printf(p)] is, in general, a very bad idea. If p points to the string "99% rubbish" you have just invoked undefined behaviour and anything can happen, the most likely result being it not printing what you expected. Do you mean why an address isn't printed? If so, the answer is you have not told it to print an address. [/QUOTE]
