值传递、指针传递、引用传递

Posted on 2022-11-05 In CS , Languages , C & Cpp

接上文《一个有关指针传参的问题》，打算结合一些简单的例子系统地梳理一下 C/C++ 中的值传递、指针传递和 C++ 中特有的引用传递。

值传递

值传递传递实际上只是在执行函数的时候将实参的值赋给了形参，在此之后函数体内对形参的任何操作都与原来的实参无关了。

例如下边这个代码 1:

// 值传递 (C++代码)

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void func(int n)
{
    cout << "The value of n in func(): " << n << endl;
    cout << "The address of n in func(): " << &n << endl;
    n++;
    cout << "Then the value of n in func(): " << n << endl;
}

int main()
{
    int n = 0;
    cout << "The value of n in main(): " << n << endl;
    cout << "The address of n in main(): " << &n << endl;
    func(n);
    cout << "Then the value of n in main(): " << n << endl;
    return 0;
}

// 值传递 (C代码)

#include <stdio.h>

void func(int n)
{
    printf("The value of n in func(): %d\n", n);
    printf("The address of n in func(): 0x%x\n", &n);
    n++;
    printf("Then the value of n in func(): %d\n", n);
}

int main()
{
    int n = 0;
    printf("The value of n in main(): %d\n", n);
    printf("The address of n in main(): 0x%x\n", &n);
    func(n);
    printf("Then the value of n in main(): %d\n", n);
    return 0;
}

下边是可能的输出：

The value of n in main(): 0
The address of n in main(): 0x61fe1c
The value of n in func(): 0
The address of n in func(): 0x61fdf0
Then the value of n in func(): 1
Then the value of n in main(): 0

第二行第四行说明，main() 中的实参 n 与 func() 中的形参 n 存储在内存的不同位置，不是同一个变量。第五第六行说明，对形参 n 的操作，不会影响实参 n。

指针传递

指针传递也就是传参时不直接传某个参数的值，而是传它的地址。把这个地址作为实参，而形参又是复制实参而来的，所以形参也是原来参数的地址，这样再对形参解除引用，实际上就是对同一内存的值进行操作，所以当然在自定函数中的操作会在主函数中反映出来，请看下边的代码 2：

// 指针传递 (C++代码)

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void func(int *p)
{
    cout << "The value of n(*p) in func(): " << *p << endl;
    cout << "The address of n(p) in func(): " << p << endl;
    (*p)++;
    cout << "Then the value of n(*p) in func(): " << *p << endl;
}

int main()
{
    int n = 0;
    cout << "The value of n in main(): " << n << endl;
    cout << "The address of n in main(): " << &n << endl;
    func(&n); // 把想要传递的参数的地址作为实参传入
    cout << "Then the value of n in main(): " << n << endl;
    return 0;
}

// 指针传递 (C代码)

#include <stdio.h>

void func(int *p)
{
    printf("The value of n(*p) in func(): %d\n", *p);
    printf("The address of n(p) in func(): 0x%x\n", p);
    (*p)++;
    printf("Then the value of n(*p) in func(): %d\n", *p);
}

int main()
{
    int n = 0;
    printf("The value of n in main(): %d\n", n);
    printf("The address of n in main(): 0x%x\n", &n);
    func(&n);
    printf("Then the value of n in main(): %d\n", n);
    return 0;
}

下边是可能的输出：

The value of n in main(): 0
The address of n in main(): 0x61fe1c
The value of n(*p) in func(): 0
The address of n(p) in func(): 0x61fe1c
Then the value of n(*p) in func(): 1
Then the value of n in main(): 1

这实际上就是《一个有关指针传参的问题》- 分析及解决分案中的代码 2 的思路。只不过这里我们是对 int 类型的普通变量操作，所以函数接受的参数类型是 int*，而在那篇文章中是要对 int* 类型的变量操作，所以自定函数接受的参数类型变成了 int**。

引用传递

注意引用传递是 C++ 的特性，C 没有这个特性。

引用传递相当于给实参取了个别名，对形参的操作会同步到实参那边去，还是来看下边的代码 3 吧：

// 引用传递 (C++代码)

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void func(int &n2)
{
    cout << "The value of n2 in func(): " << n2 << endl;
    cout << "The address of n2 in func(): " << &n2 << endl;
    n2++;
    cout << "Then the value of n2 in func(): " << n2 << endl;
}

int main()
{
    int n1 = 0;
    cout << "The value of n1 in main(): " << n1 << endl;
    cout << "The address of n1 in main(): " << &n1 << endl;
    func(n1);
    cout << "Then the value of n1 in main(): " << n1 << endl;
    return 0;
}

下边是可能的输出：

The value of n1 in main(): 0
The address of n1 in main(): 0x61fe1c
The value of n2 in func(): 0
The address of n2 in func(): 0x61fe1c
Then the value of n2 in func(): 1
Then the value of n1 in main(): 1

类似地，int 类型的引用类型是 int&，int* 的引用类型是 int*&。
