7. (Downplaying) Pointers in Modern C++

Objectives

In this chapter, you’ll:

Learn what pointers are, and how to declare and initialize them.
Use the address (&) and indirection (*) pointer operators.
Compare the capabilities of pointers and references.
Use pointers to pass arguments to functions by reference.
Use pointer-based arrays and strings mostly in legacy code.
Use const with pointers and the data they point to.
Use operator sizeof to determine the number of bytes that store a value of a particular type.
Understand pointer expressions and pointer arithmetic that you’ll see in legacy code.
Use C++11’s nullptr to represent pointers to nothing.
Use C++11’s begin and end library functions with pointer-based arrays.
Learn various C++ Core ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
