Next, it gets from the VPTR to the specific function pointer inside the VTABLE, such as (*draw). And finally, it provides the call parameters, including the “me” pointer and potentially other ...

The use of pointers presents serious problems for software productivity tools for software understanding, restructuring, and testing. Pointers enable indirect memory accesses through pointer ...

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I can't seem to figure out the answer from any of the examples or looking at the source, but C is not my strong-suit. I am trying to pass strings to/from ...

On Jan. 7, the U.S. Patent Office issued further guidance on the application of 35 U.S.C. Section 112 during examination of computer-implemented functional claim limitations (112 guidance).

If we cast a function pointer to, say, an unsigned char pointer, dereferencing the pointer will give us the compiled machine code for that function, ready for reverse engineering.

So read on! Function Pointers In general, function pointers aren’t any more mysterious than data pointers: the main difference is that one references variables and the other references functions.
