In place of:
*second_largest = a[1];

I recommend adding this, rather inefficient, code fragment as a defense against duplicate numbers in the array:

for(i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
    if(a[i] != *largest)
    {
        *second_largest = a[i];
        break; 
    }
}

This would also mean changing the if statement in the for loop to:

if(a[i] > *largest)
