basic_string::pointer
A type that provides a pointer to a character element in a string or character array.
typedef typename allocator_type::pointer pointer;
Remarks
The type is a synonym for allocator_type::pointer.
For type string, it is equivalent to char*.
Example
// basic_string_pointer.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
basic_string<char>::pointer pstr1a = "In Here";
char *cstr1b = "Out There";
cout << "The string pstr1a is: " << pstr1a << "." << endl;
cout << "The C-string cstr1b is: " << cstr1b << "." << endl;
}
The string pstr1a is: In Here. The C-string cstr1b is: Out There.
