Links wanted: tutorials, libraries, everything...
« on: December 10, 2007, 06:25:56 PM »
Hi everybody...
I am looking at the rockbox code now for a long time and think that i want/must learn
more about C. I know the principles of Object-orientated programming and use them in easier languages... But most of the times i stumble over several things which make it hard for me to understand the code like unknown Operators
(i think i need to learn more about bitwise operations), also things like "What exactly i s a tool-chain... Which editors do you recommend...etc...  ANYWAY...

If you have bookmaked any good resource which could help me understanding more of C i would really appreciate it!!!

Thank you!

There are lots of guides and resources on the web, simply searching for "bitwise operations c" gives quite a few good hits.

C isn't really an object oriented language but you can of course still apply some of the oo concepts.

A toolchain is the compiler and assembler, linker etc. we use gcc and binutils. See the http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?topic=CrossCompiler wiki page for more info.

this http://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html is a page with many nice uses of the different bitwise operators for clever things.

Don't forget your copy of the definitive C book: K&R.
