C redefines the NUL character to be as large as the size of the C byte which can be larger in bits than the size of a C character. This was to allow for finding 16-bit NULs quickly on word sized machines when the character size is 8-bits or 9-bits, etc. > However, everyone agrees the \0 is in the *array* that the string is > stored in. [...] Yes. It's referred to as "after" the string because of the declared length of the string does not include the NUL character. > C also allows calculating the address of, but *not* accessing, the > fictional element that would be just after the array &a[n] or a+n . I know of no bounds checks or range checks for C that would prohibit accessing anything at any address. Accessing anything outside the scope of a valid C object is "undefined behavior" or implementation defined behavior, such as for a pointer to a memory mapped device. In fact, the ability to access just prior to an "array" or just after the end of an array is used by malloc() on many implementations since malloc() typically creates a header struct just prior to the allocated memory. > This means (on most implementations) an array can't be allocated > exactly at the end of the address space, or the end of a segment when > real segments are used, which the compiler can usually avoid easily. Here, I think you may be refering to a C object larger than a C byte in size crossing a segment boundary, perhaps causing a access violation such as a page fault, etc. This has nothing to do with C, but entirely with the platform.
