|
> That's pretty much it for pointers. Though they tend to make
|
|
programs hairy, and learning how to properly deal with pointers is
|
|
what separates real C programmers from the novices, the basic
|
|
mechanics of them are not complex. With pointers you can do
|
|
efficient passing of large structures, pass-by-reference,
|
|
complicated return values, and dynamic memory management—and
|
|
now these wondrous toys may be added to your assembler programs,
|
|
too (assuming you have that kind of space to play with).
