Difference Between *(Pointer + Index) and Pointer[]

Question

int* myPointer = new int[100];

// ...

int firstValue = *(myPointer + 0);
int secondValue = myPointer[1];

Is there any functional difference betwe

Answer 1

Edit 1 : Decade old question. but still I think this answer will help knowing the compiler's perspective on processing array indexing

For the compiler they both are the same!

code 1

#include

int main()
{

    int myArr[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    int value = myArr[0];

}

code 2

#include

int main()
{

    int myArr[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    int value = *(myArr + 0);

}

These files if compiled with gcc -S flag, will produce the assembly code file with .s extension I compared both the .s files with kdiff3 and comparison shows they produced the same asm code.
