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 ...

Raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens. They’re ok, but state machines are absolutely on our short list of favorite things. There are probably as many ways to implement a state machine as there ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

What is lambda? You may know that it’s the eleventh letter in the Greek alphabet. Perhaps you recall from Physics that it’s the symbol used to represent wavelength in calculations, or you might have ...

Developing embedded software that is flexible and scalable has become an important aspect to product development. More and more, companies aren’t developing a single monolithic product, but instead, ...

Callbacks are references to executable code that higher levels of software pass into a function. These callbacks have the ability to greatly increase the portability and reuse of embedded software, ...
