In fact, an expression involving the member-selection operator (->) is a shorthand version of an expression using the period (.) if the expression before the period consists of the indirection operator (*) applied to a pointer value. Therefore,

expression -> identifier

is equivalent to

(*expression) . identifier

when expression is a pointer value
