Learn how managed pointers differ from object references, why they are useful, and how to work with them in C# ...

Arrays of pointers and multidimensional arrays are addressed, and you will learn how to allocate memory for your own data during program execution. This is called dynamic memory allocation at runtime ...

Argh.<BR><BR>Kicking myself for not catching this earlier. <BR><BR>You're allocating an array in another function, meaning you need to modify the pointer you're passing, meaning you need to pass ...

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 ...

Once again, pointers are simply memory addresses, and to fully utilize this similarity, C provides the concept of function pointers.

Memory pools are used to reuse existing memory blocks; you can use them to allocate memory blocks dynamically. Array pools manage a pool of arrays and rent them when asked for.

Developers using C can improve their memory safety by more carefully thinking through what they are doing when they write code, statically analyzing their ...

Conclusions C and C++ use memory in various ways, both static and dynamic. Dynamic memory includes stack and heap. Dynamic behavior in embedded real time systems is generally a source of concern, as ...

All array subscription operations in C get decomposed to pointer arithmetic anyhow; and when dealing with either multi-dimensional arrays or arrays of structs, where you want to access an ...
