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 ...

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 ...

First off, I'll have coded a workaround before you read this. But now I've got a bee up my bu, errr, bonnett.<BR><BR>I'm writing test code in C, and I need 100 pointers to (unique) functions. I'm ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
