One of the most common applications for using function pointers is in task schedulers. Every embedded system contains some type of task scheduler whether it is a simple round robin loop or a state of ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Rust language brings a fresh approach to whacking the pointer mole. Why the Rust language needed a fresh approach to managing pointers. Why there are no null values in Rust. Pointers in the Rust ...

How Rust deals with raw pointers. Complex data structures may have cycles, with separately allocated nodes that reference each other either directly or indirectly. Cycles present a challenge for ...
