It is unspecified whether or not the compiler will allocate one or two
copies of the character sequence "santosh" and therefore whether or not
p_name != q_name;
Refer to below link ...... first bullet clearly says that gcc will
store only one copy if strings are identical.
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/Incompatibilities.html
gcc is one compiler out of many. While gcc might always collapse them,
others might not always or never at all do so.
Yeah... I completely agree :-) ... the output will be compiler
dependant.......was just saying that if you use gcc you are guaranteed
to get the same address.
Damned if I'm going to check but I remember this being an issue with GCC
at some point so I doubt that that the first version of GCC that I used
(2.7.2) already did or reliably did in fact...
