Pointer Questions

[Struggling Programmer]

What would a line of code like this do?

int *****************ptr;

Give the programmer a big headache.

Well that was detailed. Anyone else have a reasonable answer.

It'll allocate 4 bytes on the stack, which will be interpreted as a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to an int... basically

Thank you.

adikid89: You missed one level of indirection.

It could be 8 bytes on the stack (64 bit int) and I think there is another pointer to needed in there (maybe).
