Hi Frederic,

You asked:

FT> If the function prototype for puts() is:

FT>     int puts(const char *s);

FT> how can it print the following parameter:

FT>     puts( "Hello world from puts!" );

FT> which is not the value of a pointer to char?

In this case it is, as in C anything other than an integral data type is
passed by reference. So in the puts() call the address of the start of
the string "Hello world from puts!" is used, which is a
"const char *"
