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.
actually this is a character pointer character pointer is a variable thats stores the address of the variable of character type * this hwere u have used is not multiplication operator but known as indirectional operator. The asterisk is both the dereference and the multiplication operator in C++. When you put the asterisk between the variable type and the variable name in a variable declaration, you're creating a pointer. Your compiler figures out which you mean by the context it's used in. When you create an array in C, you allocate space for the data and you create a pointer to the first element in the array.
