  2. Null-terminated string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null-terminated_string

    This allows the string to contain NUL and made finding the length need only one memory access (O(1) (constant) time), but limited string length to 255 characters. C designer Dennis Ritchie chose to follow the convention of null-termination to avoid the limitation on the length of a string and because maintaining the count seemed, in his ...

  3. Limits of computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limits_of_computation

    The Margolus–Levitin theorem sets a bound on the maximum computational speed per unit of energy: 6 × 10 33 operations per second per joule.This bound, however, can be avoided if there is access to quantum memory.

  5. Heap spraying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap_spraying

    Heap sprays for web browsers are commonly implemented in JavaScript and spray the heap by creating large strings. The most common technique used is to start with a string of one character and concatenate it with itself over and over. This way, the length of the string can grow exponentially up to the maximum length allowed by the scripting engine.

  6. Memory safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_safety

    BoundWarden is a new spatial memory enforcement approach that utilizes a combination of compile-time transformation and runtime concurrent monitoring techniques. [23] Fuzz testing is well-suited for finding memory safety bugs and is often used in combination with dynamic checkers such as AddressSanitizer.

  7. JavaScript syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript_syntax

    The string is converted to a number value. JavaScript attempts to convert the string numeric literal to a Number type value. First, a mathematical value is derived from the string numeric literal. Next, this value is rounded to nearest Number type value. Boolean

  8. Buffer overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow

    This limits the size of the shellcode to the size of the buffer, which may be overly restrictive. DLLs are located in high memory (above 0x01000000) and so have addresses containing no null bytes, so this method can remove null bytes (or other disallowed characters) from the overwritten return address. Used in this way, the method is often ...

  9. String (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_(computer_science)

    Storing the string length as byte limits the maximum string length to 255. To avoid such limitations, improved implementations of P-strings use 16-, 32-, or 64-bit words to store the string length. When the length field covers the address space , strings are limited only by the available memory .
