Pointers — you either love them, or you haven’t fully understood them yet. But before you storm off to the comment section now, pointers are indeed a polarizing subject and are both C’s biggest ...

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 ...

As someone who has spent over two decades in the embedded systems industry, I’ve seen the vast evolution of technology—from 8-bit microcontrollers to today’s sophisticated, multicore systems. Yet, one ...

In our first part on pointers, we covered the basics and common pitfalls of pointers in C. If we had to break it down into one sentence, the main principle of pointers is that they are simply data ...

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 ...
