This course builds upon the basic concept of pointers, discussed in C Programming: Modular Programming and Memory Management, and introduces the more advanced usage of pointers and pointer arithmetic.

This is why we can use the subscript operator on blocks of memory allocated via malloc() or calloc() or realloc(); it's all pointer arithmetic under the hood. <BR><BR>So, back the point about ...

In my 20 years of C/C++ programming, I’ve had to use a pointer to a function in almost every project. I don’t even recall the circumstances where it would not make a huge un-testable mess ...

Dynamic Memory in C. In C, dynamic memory is allocated from the heap using some standard library functions. The two key dynamic memory functions are malloc() and free(). The malloc() function takes a ...

I recently presented arguments for and against using dynamic memory allocation in C and C++ programs. 1 I do agree that truly safety-critical systems should avoid using dynamic allocation because the ...
