A critical tool when developing an embedded system in C is an understanding of how pointers work. Misunderstanding pointer fundamentals can result in long hours spent debugging a system or a hidden ...

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

The C language allows you to provide a pointer to a function, just like a pointer to a variable. In both cases, a C pointer contains the address and the type information about the entity being pointed ...
