hello; i want to know that where we use link list, function pointer, generic pointer in embedded programming
My faviourite (not!) is state machines where the states has not been given names. Each case just has a number, and within it the code may have a line:
state = 17;
Almost impossible to know what state 17 means, and almost impossible to insert a new state without missing to renumber all state changes.

Ohhh, I think you forgot that for complete "enjoyment", all of the states are actually "documented" in a separate document, which is "slightly" out of date with the actual code. :)
(It's somewhere in the Writing-Unmaintainable-Code Howto: "Lie in the comments/documentation. It doesn't need to be obvious, just fail to keep the comments/documentation up to date with the code.")
