Function pointer digression

A function is a function
A pointer is a pointer
Pointer function is a function
Function pointers are pointers

The essence of function pointer

The essence of function pointer is pointer, the essence of pointer is address, and the object pointed to by function pointer is a function.
The function pointer is generally used as the parameter of the function. The parameter of the function is one of the four elements of the function. The function includes function name, function return value, function parameter and function body. If we write a function that is often called, such as the I2C start signal often used in I2C communication in MCU, we can pass the name of the start signal function we have implemented as a parameter to a function, and the function name can be assigned to a function pointer variable.

How to declare a pointer?

For example, if we declare a pointer variable pointing to an integer, do we want to emphasize that the type of pointer is int and use int *a; You can declare a pointer and know that it is an int pointer.

How to declare a function pointer?

Obviously, there is a difference between a pointer to a function and a pointer to a data type. Similarly, when we declare a function pointer, we need to explain what the return value type of the function pointed to by the pointer is and what the parameter list of the function is. In a word, whether you declare a pointer or a function, you should make it clear what you want to declare. You should tell me who the pointer points to, whether it is an integer variable or a character variable, or whether it points to a function. If the pointer points to a function, it is a function pointer. When you declare it again, you should clarify the characteristics of the function. Here, the characteristics are the return value type of the function and the list of function parameters, Of course, if you declare a function pointer, the name of the pointer is required.

The declaration method of function pointer is:

Function return value type (* pointer variable name) ([formal parameter list]);
double (*pf)(int);

double (pf)(int) must not be used here; Remove the parentheses on pf. Why? Because when it is removed, it becomes another meaning

double (*pf)(int)  //pf is the declared function pointer, pointing to a function with a return value of double
 Function pointers are pointers    Is a pointer variable pointing to a function 
double *pf  (int)  //pf is the name of the declared function, and the return value of the function is a double pointer.
A pointer function is a function whose return value is a pointer

What's the use of function pointers

This writing method is very convenient when calling a function. You only need to assign the function name to a function pointer variable, and then manage these variables with the structure. The operation of batch functions can be realized by passing parameters through the structure.

typedef struct
{
	void (*Init)(void);
	void (*Disable)(void);
	void (*SDAOutPut)(uint8_t pdata);
	void (*SCLOutPut)(uint8_t pdata);
	void (*SDAInputConfig)(void);
	void (*SCLInputConfig)(void);
	void (*SDAOutputConfig)(void);
	void (*SCLOutputConfig)(void);
	uint8_t(*ReadSDAInput)(void);
	uint8_t(*ReadSCLInput)(void);
	void (*Delay)(void);
	uint8_t error;
}IIC_PIN;

void at24InfoInit(void)
{
	AT24.Disable         = at24c128_iicDisable;
	AT24.Init            = at24c128_iicInit;
	AT24.SDAOutPut       = at24c128_SDAOutPut;
	AT24.SCLOutPut       = at24c128_SCLOutPut;
	AT24.SDAOutputConfig = at24c128_SDAOutputConfig;
	AT24.SCLOutputConfig = at24c128_SCLOutputConfig;
	AT24.SDAInputConfig  = at24c128_SDAInputConfig;
	AT24.SCLInputConfig  = at24c128_SCLInputConfig;
	AT24.ReadSDAInput    = at24c128_ReadSDAInput;
	AT24.ReadSCLInput    = at24c128_ReadSCLInput;
	AT24.Delay           = at24c128_Delay;
	IIC_Init(&AT24);
}

AT24 is a structure. Through the structure reference, the member variables of the structure can be assigned. The assigned functions have unique functions. For example, here they are some operation functions of the memory
