Teaching objectives
At the end of the training, the participant will be able to:
Handling pointers, function pointers and language-integrated libraries
Master recursive data structures and their intrinsic algorithms
Use development tools associated with the C language
Master object-oriented developments and major additions to the C11 standard

Intended audience
Designers, developers.

Prerequisites
Good knowledge of the C language or knowledge equivalent to that acquired in the course "Programming in C" (ref. LGC).

Course schedule

1
Pointers and arrays

  • Reminders about pointers and arrays, and the differences and similarities between the two.
  • The three arguments to the main() function, environment variables.
  • Multi-index tables.
  • Function pointer, array of function pointers.
  • Dynamic allocation identified by pointers.
Hands-on work
Development of pointer-intensive programs.

2
Function libraries

  • Standard language libraries: ctype.h, math.h, stdlib.h, time.h... and others.
  • Advanced mathematics libraries: Linpack, Lapack.
  • Dynamic allocation management: calloc(), realloc() functions.
  • Functions with a variable number of arguments, both existing and created by the programmer.
Hands-on work
Use of several function libraries.

3
Recursivity

  • Defining recursion.
  • Recursive functions.
  • Recursive data structures: lists, trees.
  • Intrinsic algorithms for recursive data structures (insertion, removal, etc.).
Hands-on work
Creation of a library for handling recursive data.

4
Development tools for the C language

  • Troubleshooting programs: the debugger.
  • Dependency management tools: make and touch.
  • Dynamic program analysis: the profiler.
  • Testing tools: CUnit.
Hands-on work
Use of development tools for the C language.

5
From C to object-oriented programming

  • Definitions of object-oriented concepts: object, encapsulation, class, inheritance, polymorphism.
  • Object-oriented domains handled with the C language.
  • From C to C++.
  • From C to Java.
Hands-on work
Object-oriented design using the C language.

6
Advanced aspects of the C11 standard

  • Multi-threading.
  • Anonymous structures and unions.
  • Generic functions.
  • Unicode encoding management.
  • Rewrite certain functions, check data sizes.
Hands-on work
Use of concepts added by the C11 standard.
