https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/19698/application-timer-context-pointerWhen you start an application timer, you can provide an optional context pointer. Is that pointer memcpy&#39;d like with the scheduler or is it a shallow copy? I&#39;d like to know if I can provide locally created values via this pointer.en-USTelligent Community 13Tue, 14 Feb 2017 22:48:00 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/76629?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 14 Feb 2017 22:48:00 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:c15c4884-7817-4f77-a8cb-5ada7d9aeef4RK<p>It&#39;s just a pointer, treated as an opaque void *, the pointer value itself is retained and returned to you in each call, there is no copying (how could there be, there&#39;s no size to go with the pointer so it would be impossible to know what to copy).</p> <p>It doesn&#39;t even really need to be a pointer, you can cast any 4 byte value to a void*, pass it, and cast it back when you get it returned.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
