Module 7
Type Qualifiers and Const Correctness
1
Pointers to Const vs. Const Pointers
Distinguish between a 'pointer to const data' and a 'const pointer'.
2
Designing Safer APIs with `const` Parameters
Apply `const` correctness to function parameters to create safer, more readable APIs.
3
`const` Correctness: Safety and Optimization
Explain the benefits of `const` correctness for code safety and compiler optimization.
4
Volatile for Hardware Registers and Shared Memory
Use the `volatile` qualifier for pointers to memory-mapped hardware registers and shared memory variables.
5
Optimizing Function Pointers with `restrict`
Apply the `restrict` keyword to function pointer parameters to enable compiler optimizations.
6
Combining Type Qualifiers
Correctly combine multiple type qualifiers (e.g., `const volatile`).
7
Understanding `const` and Its Removal
Analyze the risks and appropriate use cases for casting away `const`.
