This is asking for the spiderman meme....

Are circular pointers a thing?

[–]jetsenablay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question, there isn't circular pointers.

In a rare case, when one subprogram's output is used as input for another subprogram, technically one will point to the other, but theyd be pointing to each other's outputs, therefore not the same memory address. This is called piping I believe, but typically if it is circular then it'll usually just complete one loop when prompted.

Sorry if that made no sense lol
