Implementation of Project

Learn about the implementation detail of function pointer parameters and arithmetic programs both collectively.

We'll cover the following...

Function pointer parameters project

It is our final project and a summary of the project source code.

FunctionParameters

The source code of the FunctionParameters project is given below:

C++
// FunctionParameters.cpp
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
       int a, b;
       printf("Enter a and b: ");
       scanf("%d %d", &a, &b);
       if (arithmetic (a, &b))
       {
             printf("Result = %d", b);
       }
       return 0; 
}

Arithmetic program

The source code of the arithmetic program is given below:

C++
// Arithmetic.cpp
bool arithmetic (int a, int *b) 
{
       if (!b)
       {
        return false;
       }
       *b = *b + a;
       ++a;
       *b = *b * a;
       return true;
}

Commented disassembly

Here is the commented disassembly we get after compiling the project and loading it into GDB:

gcc FunctionParameters.cpp Arithmetic.cpp -o FunctionParameters
gdb ./FunctionParameters

After compiling and loading, we should see the following in the GDB container:
