Equivalent C declarations

Question

Are

int (*x)[10];

and

int x[10];

equivalent?

According to the \"Clockwise Spiral\" rule, they parse

Answer 1

Follow this simple process when reading declarations:

Start at the variable name (or innermost construct if no identifier is present. Look right without jumping over a right parenthesis; say what you see. Look left again without jumping over a parenthesis; say what you see. Jump out a level of parentheses if any. Look right; say what you see. Look left; say what you see. Continue in this manner until you say the variable type or return type.

So:

int (*x)[10];

x is a pointer to an array of 10 ints

int x[10];

x is an array of 10 ints

int *x[10];

x is an array of 10 pointers to ints
