Probably an easy or dumb question

No.  Use

 scanf("%d %d %d %d", d, d+1, d+2, d+3);

For each valid conversion specification other than %%, at least one pointer 
is consumed from the stack.  You pass one pointer, but ask for four 
conversions.  Expect a hung system or dumped core, depending upon available
memory protection.
