how to print data inside a char pointer (c++)?

I have a

function(const char * data)
{
//how to print the data which is inside the data
}

when I debug I see only the address. If I pri开发者_运维百科nt (*data) nothing is printed.

Any idea?

#include <iostream>

void function(const char * data)
{
    std::cout << data;
}

printf("%s\n", data) works for me.

std::cout << std::string(data);
