¿Cómo qué? dame un ejemplo real.
microcontrollers, still need this. However most modern programmers do not need such fine control and the complications of using pointers make programs less clear to understand and add to the ways in which they can be go wrong. So why are pointers still used so much in C & its successor, C++?
The reason is that pointers are used to bodge into C some vital features which are missing from the original language: arrays, strings, & writeable function parameters. They can also be used to optimize a program to run faster or use less memory that it would otherwise.
Según eso no los necesito. No pienso programar microcontroladores, y según tengo entendido, C++ tiene eso que le 'falta' a C.
