A huge pointer was a special type of pointer used in the WIN161 environment that would allow you to monolithically handle objects of size greater than 64KB as if that were one single address space. If you had the special WIN32 add-on installed, you could declare and use huge pointers natively, but normally, you had to do address translation to go from huge to far and from far to huge.
A dangling pointer is not something I have heard of. The closest I can interpret this is a misunderstanding of dangling if statements, although it could be a reference to leaking memory through unallocated pointers that go out of scope before they are freed. Please restate the question, with better details.
1 Today, with true 32 and 64 bit operating systems abounding, the concept of near, far, and huge pointers is obsolete and archaic. The need to deal with them disappeared with Visual Studio 1.52 and Windows 3.1. (Of which I still have working copies. :-)>)

Pointers is a very powerful feature that is available in the C programming language but at the same time it is very confusing and many of the issues that arise out of C programs is because of incorrect or inappropriate usage of pointers. Hence the creators of Java language opted to exclude the pointers feature and create Java as a language where the programmer cannot access the native memory area and the memory accessing is left to the system to be taken care of.
