Pointers — you either love them, or you haven’t fully understood them yet. But before you storm off to the comment section now, pointers are indeed a polarizing subject and are both C’s biggest ...

The project is a combination of servo, ultrasonic range sensor and an Arduino to create pointers in C in order to move data around. The project is a combination of servo, ultrasonic range sensor and ...

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 ...

This may fall under the heading of "Don't do that" but did cause me to be slightly curious.<BR><BR>What would happen if you say, created a pointer to a function that took three ints as arguments, but ...

Some people think that programs for microcontrollers like the 8051 that have limited program memory must be written in assembly language rather than a high-level language like C. The executable code ...

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 pointers ...

I recently presented arguments for and against using dynamic memory allocation in C and C++ programs. 1 I do agree that truly safety-critical systems should avoid using dynamic allocation because the ...

Learn how managed pointers differ from object references, why they are useful, and how to work with them in C# A pointer is a variable that points to the address of another variable. In other words, a ...

PythoC lets you use Python as a C code generator, but with more features and flexibility than Cython provides. Here’s a first look at the new C code generator for Python. Python and C share more than ...

MISRA C compliance succeeds when teams understand its safety purpose, apply it pragmatically, and build it into daily embedded-software development.
