Embedded C developers shy away from C++ out of concern for performance. The class construct is one of their main concerns. My previous article Code Craft – Embedding C++: Classes explored ...

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 ...

That inline assembly code is all wrong, in terms of the syntax for it.<BR><BR>I had to learn some of this GCC inline asm earlier this summer (ironically enough, so that I could add some stuff to ...

Just remember casting pointer to int is a bad idea. When someone port the code to 64bit the pointer will be 64bit but int usually stay at 32bit.

Because C library functions with arguments that are pointers must process data from any memory block, and different memory blocks can require different sequences, the absence of such modes means the ...

In last week’s column, we studied the rule of identity. We saw several ways in which identity is implemented, including relational database keys, file paths, and — most significantly — pointers.
