Usage Examples English
  • Pointer analysis algorithms are used to convert collected raw pointer usages (assignments of one pointer to another or assigning a pointer to point to another one) to a useful graph of what each pointer can point to.
  • Note, possible disadvantage of d-pointer pattern is indirect member access through pointer (e.g., pointer to object in dynamic storage), which is sometimes slower than access to a plain, non-pointer member.
  • The pointer "hotspot" is the active pixel of the pointer, used to target a click or drag.
  • When stack frame sizes can differ, such as between different functions or between invocations of a particular function, popping a frame off the stack does not constitute a fixed decrement of the stack pointer.
  • Furthermore, the pointer could be improved from a basic mouse to an accelerator pointer.

  • Associated techniques include code-pointer separation (CPS), code-pointer integrity (CPI), stack canaries, shadow stacks, and vtable pointer verification.
  • In order to pass an editable pointer to a function (such as for the purpose of returning an allocated array to the calling code) you have to pass a pointer to "that" pointer: its address.
  • When a pointer has a type pointer-to-employee, incrementing that pointer makes it point to the next "employee" -- if the size of the employee structure is 106 bytes, incrementing that pointer increases it by 106 bytes.
  • A 3-pointer by Nolan gave Detroit a 68–55 lead before Sacramento made a final charge, closing to 75–69 on a 3-pointer by Kristin Haynie with 2:05 remaining.
  • ] pointer. However, a function pointer is not required to even have the same size as a data object pointer, and therefore a valid conversion between type [...] and a pointer to a function may not be easy to implement on all platforms.

  • The forwarding pointer (sometimes called a "broken heart") is used only during the garbage collection process; when a reference to an object already in to-space (thus having a forwarding pointer in from-space) is found, the reference can be updated quickly simply by updating its pointer to match the forwarding pointer.
  • , but rather first getting a linear self-referencing pointer to it stored at [...].
