Where exactly do function pointers point?

Question

Given that all the primitive data types and objects have memory allocated, it is intuitively easy to imagine the pointers to these types.

But where exactly do function p

Answer 1

Function pointers point to the address of the function in memory.

Based on the way function pointers are usually assigned, I would be surprised if you had them pointing to a data location. They are not typically cast and so unlikely to point anywhere other than to a valid function. If you are casting them a lot, then this could be a problem. More likely though is that the data you are passing to the function is wrong.
