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 ...

One of the most common applications for using function pointers is in task schedulers. Every embedded system contains some type of task scheduler whether it is a simple round robin loop or a state of ...

Function pointers can be used for a wide variety of applications including the implementation of state machines. Just like any tool, it may not always be appropriate to use function pointers for a ...

Embedded programming is a tricky task that looks straightforward to the uninitiated, but those with a few decades of experience know differently. Getting what you want to work predictably or even fit ...

Delegates are type safe function pointers *with an optional this pointer* thus no need to pass one round yourself. Obviously their utility is much enhanced in contract to C++ by virtue of being part ...

I ask because it doesn't seem to be for me. I've got a number of classes that inherit from a base class with some virtual functions. When I have a base class pointer everything works fine as it should ...
