Encoding globally available pointers helps protect them from being exploited. The EncodePointer function obfuscates the pointer value with a secret so that it cannot be predicted by an external agent. The secret used by EncodePointer is different for each process. A pointer must be decoded before it can be used.
A pointer is a variable that contains an address of a variable. A pointer is a variable that contains an address to a variable. A pointer is both defined and dereferenced (yielding the value stored at the memory location that it points to) with the '*' operator; the expression is mnemonic.When I first learned about pointers, I was sort of thrust in to it.sually what I do is represent memory as a grid, so that I can make up addresses, highlight different memory spaces and write in the cells values (or even further, their binary representations) and link the pointers in memory to the values they point at.
