Pointers
You had a glimpse of pointers in the last chapter and just a small hint at what you can use them for. Here, you’ll delve a lot deeper into the...

Function Pointers
Functions are not variables, but we can still have pointers to functions or function pointers. For example, if we have a simple function:...

Pointers
Data is stored in computer memory. The CPU reads from and writes to this memory. In simple terms, computer memory is an array of cells called bits....

Pointers
This chapter introduces pointers. We rewrite our arithmetic program from Chapter 1 using pointers, use the GDB debugger to execute instructions...

Pointers
Objects reside in memory. And so far, we have learned how to access and manipulate objects through variables. Another way to access an object in...

Smart Pointers
Smart pointers are pointers that own the object they point to and automatically destroy the object they point to and deallocate the memory once the...

Where to Use Pointers?
In this chapter, we discuss several pointers use cases, including the use of pointers as function parameters.

Pointers and References
The concepts of pointers and references have similarities, which is why we have put them together in a single chapter. Pointers are important because...

Pointers to Memory
This chapter looks at pointers in greater detail, considering different byte memory granularity. We also discuss issues related to abnormal defects,...

Reconstructing a Program with Pointers
In this chapter, we use our assembly language knowledge to reconstruct C and C++ code that uses pointers. We also compare the disassembly of the...

Basic Types, Values, and Pointers
In this chapter, I begin to describe the Go language, focusing on the basic data types before moving on to how they are used to create constants and...

Function Pointers
We now leave data structures for a spell to talk about something new: pointers to functions. Like pointers to data, pointers to functions give us a...

Pointers
You can store the address of an object in another object, and this is where we get to pointers. A pointer is a variable that stores memory addresses...

A Fine-Grained Semantics for Arrays and Pointers Under Weak Memory Models
Developers of concurrent code for multicore architectures must navigate weak memory models (wmms) – either directly at the hardware/assembly level or...

Aggregates and Pointers
This chapter focuses on arrays and structures, which are C’s primary aggregate types. Arrays aggregate variables of the same type, whereas structures...
