If one wants to get a start address of a array or a string or a block of memory via a function, there are at least two methods to achieve it:
(1) one is to pass a pointer-to-pointer parameter, like:
int my_malloc(int size, char **pmem)
{
*pmem=(char *)malloc(size);
if(*pmem==NULL)... (11 Replies)

Hi.
Problem: I have to parse the payload of a packet. The payload could be in Big Endian Format (network byte order) or little. That depends on a flag present in the header of the packet.

Hi,
In the below C code,
#include <stdio.h>
void print() {
printf("Hello\n");
}
int main() {
void (*f)() = (void (*)()) print;
f();
(*f)();
}
I wonder, how the syntaxes "f()" and "(*f)()" are treated as same without any error? Is this an improvement or ANSI/ISO... (1 Reply)

index(3C) Standard C Library Functions index(3C) NAME
index, rindex - string operations SYNOPSIS
#include <strings.h> char *index(const char *s, int c); char *rindex(const char *s, int c); DESCRIPTION
The index() and rindex() functions operate on null-terminated strings. The index() function returns a pointer to the first occurrence of character c in string s. The rindex() function returns a pointer to the last occurrence of character c in string s. Both index() and rindex() return a null pointer if c does not occur in the string. The null character terminating a string is considered to be part of the string. USAGE
On most modern computer systems, you can not use a null pointer to indicate a null string. A null pointer is an error and results in an abort of the program. If you wish to indicate a null string, you must use a pointer that points to an explicit null string. On some machines and with some implementations of the C programming language, a null pointer, if dereferenced, would yield a null string. Though often used, this practice is not always portable. Programmers using a null pointer to represent an empty string should be aware of this portability issue. Even on machines where dereferencing a null pointer does not cause an abort of the program, it does not necessarily yield a null string. ATTRIBUTES
