    «FUNCTION» LENGTH(string) or «FUNCTION» BYTE-LENGTH(string) number of characters and number of bytes, respectively COBOL: string length string: a decimal string giving the number of characters Tcl: ≢ string: APL: string.len() Number of bytes Rust [30] string.chars().count() Number of Unicode code points Rust [31]

  3. Uninitialized variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninitialized_variable

    This is because if the length of first_name and last_name character arrays are less than 16 bytes, during the strcpy, [1] we fail to fully initialize the entire 16 bytes of memory reserved for each of these members. Hence after memcpy()'ing the resulted struct to output, [2] we leak some stack memory to the caller.

  4. Flexible array member - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_array_member

    C struct data types may end with a flexible array member [1] with no specified size: struct vectord { short len ; // there must be at least one other data member double arr []; // the flexible array member must be last // The compiler may reserve extra padding space here, like it can between struct members };

  5. Reference counting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_counting

    Reference counting is also among the simplest forms of memory management to implement. It also allows for effective management of non-memory resources such as operating system objects, which are often much scarcer than memory (tracing garbage collection systems use finalizers for this, [citation needed] but the delayed reclamation may cause ...

  6. Magic number (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)

    In this way a program could be run in the older relocatable memory reference (regular) mode or in paged mode. As more executable formats were developed, new constants were added by incrementing the branch offset. [8] In the Sixth Edition source code of the Unix program loader, the exec() function read the executable image from the file system.

  7. Data structure alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure_alignment

    The CPU in modern computer hardware performs reads and writes to memory most efficiently when the data is naturally aligned, which generally means that the data's memory address is a multiple of the data size. For instance, in a 32-bit architecture, the data may be aligned if the data is stored in four consecutive bytes and the first byte lies ...
