In a recent thread there was a confusion about pointers   
   in c/cc   
   Algol 68 has   
       'int' y;   
       'ref' 'int' py;   
      
   C has   
       int y;   
       int *py;   
      
   This defines py as something that can be dereferenced to   
   yield an int. This inside out type of definition leads to   
   confusion.   
      
   This is an example that you can compile with gcc   
   ------------------- pointer.cc ------------   
   #include    
   int main()   
   {   
       int y, *py;   
       py=&y;   
       printf("%x",py);   
   }   
   ----------------   
   Running it reveals the address of y, or at least the 32 least   
   significant bits.   
      
   I couldn't find back the thread, but this is a separate subject   
   anyway. Confirms the superiority of Forth ;-)
