Instead you use a pointer to locate the array and a value to indicate the number of elements. Frankly, I could program what I needed these days without including pointers in my code, so I hardly gave ...

I’ve worked with a number of 8-bit embedded systems and their C compilers where using clearer expressions (e.g. arrays) produced worse binary code, and using stupid pointer tricks compiled to ...

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 pointe… ...

Programming in C can be tough for those new to the language, so Dennis Kubes wrote “ The 5-minute Guide to C Pointers,” and put it on his blog. Only four code snippets are needed for Kubes 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.
