This code declares and initializes a pointer to a constant character string keyPath
. Here's what it does:
const char*
: Declares a pointer to a constant character string, meaning the characters in the string cannot be modified through this pointer.keyPath
: The name of the pointer variable."SOFTWARE\\MyApp"
: The string assigned tokeyPath
. The double backslashes (\\
) are escape sequences representing a single backslash (\
) in the string.
The keyPath
variable holds the address of the string "SOFTWARE\MyApp"
in memory, which is commonly used to represent a path in the Windows registry in applications that interact with it.
So, this code is setting up a constant string that might later be used for operations involving a registry path in a Windows system.
