Pointer arrays are a useful tool for mapping peripheral registers to a driver. There are many advantages to using pointer arrays such as simplified initializations and the ability to generate a ...

Although pointers in C/C++ can seem confusing at first, they provide an extremely powerful tool that allows you to create compact and efficient code. Although pointers in C/C++ can seem confusing at ...

The previous two posts (part 1 and part 2) have been exploring the fundamentals of using pointers from the basics of declaring a pointer to the more complex notation of manipulating pointers. An ...

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 ...

I have to create a binary search using pointer for a school assignment. I haven't had much luck getting it to work (please keeping mocking and laughter to a minimum ...

I've got a problem with some C we are working on (embedded systems), right now we have a huge 2D array that works fine, it looks like this t_ourStructType *Array; Array = ...

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 ...

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 ...
