Overview
Pointers in C provides a resource for professionals and advanced students needing in-depth hands on coverage of pointer basics and advanced features.
From the basics of how pointers function at the machine level, to using them for a variety of common and advanced scenarios, this book will give you a much better understanding of pointers in general than is available on the Internet or in traditional C books.
There are plenty of code examples in the book to emulate and adapt to meet your specific needs.

About this book
In spite of its vast usage, understanding and proper usage of pointers remains a significant problem. This book’s aim is to first introduce the basic building blocks such as elaborate details about memory, the compilation process (parsing/preprocessing/assembler/object code generation), the runtime memory organization of an executable and virtual memory. These basic building blocks will help both beginners and advanced readers to grasp the notion of pointers very easily and clearly. The book is enriched with several illustrations, pictorial examples, and code from different contexts (Device driver code snippets, algorithm, and data structures code where pointers are used).
Pointers in C contains several quick tips which will be useful for programmers for not just learning the pointer concept but also while using other features of the C language. Chapters in the book are intuitive, and there is a strict logical flow among them and each chapter forms a basis for the next chapter. This book contains every small aspect of pointer features in the C language in their entirety.
