What do you suppose will happen when the following is compiled and run?
#include <stdio.h> void main ( void ) { int value; int *pv; int **ppv; value = 32; pv = (int *)&ppv; ppv = &pv; printf("value = %d\n", value ); printf("*pv = %d\n", *pv ); printf("**ppv = %d\n", **ppv ); }
This program will compile and run, but is not a sensible thing to do. It might have come about when a programmer, desperate to get a program to compile in spite of an error, put in a type cast which seemed to fix the problem.
