  2. Swap (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swap_(computer_programming)

    data_item x := 1 data_item y := 0 swap (x, y); After swap() is performed, x will contain the value 0 and y will contain 1; their values have been exchanged. This operation may be generalized to other types of values, such as strings and aggregated data types. Comparison sorts use swaps to change the positions of data.

  3. Compare-and-swap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compare-and-swap

    Many C compilers support using compare-and-swap either with the C11 <stdatomic.h> functions, [8] or some non-standard C extension of that particular C compiler, [9] or by calling a function written directly in assembly language using the compare-and-swap instruction. The following C function shows the basic behavior of a compare-and-swap ...

  4. Argument-dependent name lookup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument-dependent_name_lookup

    For example, the C++ standard library makes extensive use of unqualified calls to std::swap to swap two values. The idea is that then one can define an own version of swap in one's own namespace and it will be used within the standard library algorithms. In other words, the behavior of

  5. XOR swap algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_swap_algorithm

    Using the XOR swap algorithm to exchange nibbles between variables without the use of temporary storage. In computer programming, the exclusive or swap (sometimes shortened to XOR swap) is an algorithm that uses the exclusive or bitwise operation to swap the values of two variables without using the temporary variable which is normally required.

  6. Reentrancy (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reentrancy_(computing)

    This is an example swap function that fails to be reentrant or thread-safe. Since the tmp variable is globally shared, without synchronization, among any concurrent instances of the function, one instance may interfere with the data relied upon by another. As such, it should not have been used in the interrupt service routine isr():

  7. C syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_syntax

    A snippet of C code which prints "Hello, World!". The syntax of the C programming language is the set of rules governing writing of software in C. It is designed to allow for programs that are extremely terse, have a close relationship with the resulting object code, and yet provide relatively high-level data abstraction.

  8. Operators in C and C++ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operators_in_C_and_C++

    This is a list of operators in the C and C++ programming languages.. All listed operators are in C++ and lacking indication otherwise, in C as well. Some tables include a "In C" column that indicates whether an operator is also in C. Note that C does not support operator overloading.

  9. x86 calling conventions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_calling_conventions

    Non-POD return values or values larger than 64-bits, the calling code will allocate space and passes a pointer to this space via a hidden parameter on the stack. The called function writes the return value to this address. Stack aligned on 4-byte boundary. stdcall: Microsoft: RTL (C) Callee Also supported by GCC. fastcall: Microsoft: ECX, EDX ...
