This article describes how to use function pointers in various ways to increase the performance and/or the readability of your code. I will try to make this as easy to understand as possible for ...

This may fall under the heading of "Don't do that" but did cause me to be slightly curious. What would happen if you say, created a pointer to a function that took three ints as arguments, but then ...

In the first part of this series, we covered the basics of pointers in C, and went on to more complex arrangements and pointer arithmetic in the second part. Both times, we focused solely on pointers ...

Delegates are type safe function pointers *with an optional this pointer* thus no need to pass one round yourself. Obviously their utility is much enhanced in contract to C++ by virtue of being part ...

When a pointer is first declared its value is undefined. You can assign the special value NULL which plays the same role as Pascal's nil. You can allocate memory to pointers using the function ...

2. Store it into array of bytes (to_ne_bytes) then reverse it twice. 3. Convert back into interger (from_ne_bytes). 4. Turn that into function which can be called. How may add_or_sub variable even ...

Function pointers can be used for a wide variety of applications including the implementation of state machines. Just like any tool, it may not always be appropriate to use function pointers for a ...

Embedded programming is a tricky task that looks straightforward to the uninitiated, but those with a few decades of experience know differently. Getting what you want to work predictably or even fit ...

A critical tool when developing an embedded system in C is an understanding of how pointers work. Misunderstanding pointer fundamentals can result in long hours spent debugging a system or a hidden ...
