  2. Function pointer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_pointer

    A function pointer, also called a subroutine pointer or procedure pointer, is a pointer referencing executable code, rather than data. Dereferencing the function pointer yields the referenced function, which can be invoked and passed arguments just as in a normal function call.

  3. Type signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_signature

    Thus, calling f x, where f:: a-> b-> c, yields a new function f2:: b-> c that can be called f2 b to produce c. The actual type specifications can consist of an actual type, such as Integer, or a general type variable that is used in parametric polymorphic functions, such as a, or b, or anyType. So we can write something like: functionName:: a ...

  4. Forward declaration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_declaration

    In C and C++, the line above represents a forward declaration of a function and is the function's prototype. After processing this declaration, the compiler would allow the program code to refer to the entity printThisInteger in the rest of the program. The definition for a function must be provided somewhere (same file or other, where it would ...

  5. C syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_syntax

    C functions are akin to the subroutines of Fortran or the procedures of Pascal. A definition is a special type of declaration. A variable definition sets aside storage and possibly initializes it, a function definition provides its body. An implementation of C providing all of the standard library functions is called a hosted implementation.

  6. C data types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_data_types

    Function pointers allow referencing functions with a particular signature. For example, to store the address of the standard function abs in the variable my_int_f : int ( * my_int_f )( int ) = & abs ; // the & operator can be omitted, but makes clear that the "address of" abs is used here

  7. struct (C programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struct_(C_programming...

    In the C programming language, struct is the keyword used to define a composite, a.k.a. record, data type – a named set of values that occupy a block of memory. It allows for the different values to be accessed via a single identifier, often a pointer. A struct can contain other data types so is used for mixed-data-type records.

  8. Pointer (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer_(computer_programming)

    An autorelative pointer is a pointer whose value is interpreted as an offset from the address of the pointer itself; thus, if a data structure has an autorelative pointer member that points to some portion of the data structure itself, then the data structure may be relocated in memory without having to update the value of the auto relative ...

  9. Declaration (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_(computer...

    However, in formal usage (in language specifications), "declaration" includes both of these senses, with finer distinctions by language: in C and C++, a declaration of a function that does not include a body is called a function prototype, while a declaration of a function that does include a body is called a "function definition". In Java ...
