Why Function Pointers are Awesome

In this 2022 Embedded Online Conference Microtalk, Jacob Beningo discusses the use cases for function pointers in embedded software.

This video looks at the C programming language function pointers, and how they can be leveraged for use cases such as:
- task scheduling
- command processing
- state machines
- interrupt vector tables

Developers often get confused that function pointers shouldn't be used in embedded systems because of MISRA C: 1998 Rule 104. As you'll see in this video, there are safe methods for using function pointers.
