I have a bunch of hard-coded global 3D arrays of floats. I can loop through an individual 3D array just fine, but I also want to loop through all the 3D arrays. So, I thought of creating a one ...

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 ...

Pointer arithmetic is not allowed on these types. For example, _Ptr<int> p declares a pointer to a single object. The _Array_ptr type for pointers to elements of arrays. Pointer arithmetic is allowed ...

Once again, pointers are simply memory addresses, and to fully utilize this similarity, C provides the concept of function pointers.

As someone who has spent over two decades in the embedded systems industry, I’ve seen the vast evolution of technology—from 8-bit microcontrollers to today’s sophisticated, multicore systems. Yet, one ...

A C++ compiler often can't detect these errors. A pointer to T can point to either a single T object or to the first element in an array of T objects. If the new- and delete-expressions are in ...

Foremost in any strategy for the creation of safe and reliable C/C++ code is prevention of undefined behavior. But be prepared, because it’s not easy.
