Can I pass an array to printf directly:
char text[1024] = "text";
printf("%s", text);
Or should I explicitly cast it to a char pointer:
char text[1024] = "text";
printf("%s", (char*) text);
I’m asking because I thought maybe it copies the array elements directly into the va_list instead of putting just a pointer to the first element.
Yes, you can pass an array directly. Exactly, name of array represents address of the array which makes no difference with
char *.
