I'm trying to make a point in my C++/data structures class about two-dimensional arrays being an array of one-dimensional arrays, so I thought I'd be clever and whip up the following quickie ...

Actually, all I've tried so far is to create a pointer to a single 3D array, and that won't work.<BR><BR>I don't have the code available to me now, which I know is dumb for asking this kind of ...

I often use this trick when I have an array of function pointers. I might have a table like: typedef void (*LedCommand_t)(void); LedCommand_t LedCommands[] = { turnLedOn ... checking for NULL before ...

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 ...

While C++ smart pointers seem to imitate the typical garbage collection mechanisms available in managed code, they release memory deterministically. In this column's example, as soon as foo() ends and ...

Dealing with circular references in C++ isn't as simple. By Diego Dagum; 10/19/2012; In the first installment of this series on pointers, I covered the two most common smart pointers. One of them, ...

Lately, there has been a push for people to stop using programming languages that don’t promote memory safety. But as we still haven’t seen the death of some languages that were born in… ...

Google's Chrome team is looking at heap scanning to reduce memory-related security flaws in Chrome's C++ codebase, but the technique creates a toll on memory – except when newer Arm hardware is ...

TrapC has pointers that are memory-safe, addressing the memory safety issue with the two languages. With TrapC, developers write in C or C++ and compile in TrapC, for memory safety.
