C Pointers and Dynamic Memory Management

Uses an accessible, practical approach to guide readers to the highest level of programming effectiveness—a complete mastery of pointers. Contains scores of examples which programmers can load into their computers, run and then see the results. Each chapter concludes with numerous exercises.

Using techniques developed in the classroom at America Online's Programmer's University, Michael Daconta deftly pilots programmers through the intricacies of the two most difficult aspects of C++ programming: pointers and dynamic memory management. Written by a programmer for programmers, this no-nonsense, nuts-and-bolts guide shows you how to fully exploit advanced C++ programming features, such as creating class-specific allocators, understanding references versus pointers, manipulating multidimensional arrays with pointers, and how pointers and dynamic memory are the core of object-oriented constructs like inheritance, name-mangling, and virtual functions.

Covers all aspects of pointers including: pointer pointers, function pointers, and even class member pointers
