 How Pointers Really Work
Post Reply 
First let me say I enjoyed the read. Then again, I have 0 problem understanding pointers. I just wanted to check out the article.
Now, for my criticism:


Far too roundabout and has no real target audience. The article's title and the way it ends makes me think that it is for beginners -- the code in the middle and the tangent on 32bit memory makes me think it is for a little bit more advanced users.

I mean, when you haven't even introduced how to get the memory of something, do you think it is appropriate to be discussing _far pointers?

I would personally reverse the end and middle sections...the flow of the article will make more sense.

Just my 2 cents.

Wow, I wrote this article 5 years ago. It sucks. I think they should take it down, its kind of embarassing. I think I was only 15.

Thanks for your 2 cents. Here's mine.
