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 ...

Recent announcements made by some big players in the industry about C++ enablement -- like Google's Android NDK, the Apple-sponsored Clang compiler or the inclusion of C++ as a first-class citizen in ...

Embedded C developers shy away from C++ out of concern for performance. The class construct is one of their main concerns. My previous article Code Craft – Embedding C++: Classes explored whether ...

G++ does not like this and won't compile. I don't know why. Rip away the class stuff and it works fine, just like any other function pointer.<BR><BR><pre class="ip ...

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 ...

In both .NET and Java, the garbage collector is smart enough to detect and release circular references. Dealing with circular references in C++ isn't as simple. In the first installment of this series ...

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 ...
