  2. Busy waiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_waiting

    The following C code examples illustrate two threads that share a global integer i. The first thread uses busy-waiting to check for a change in the value of i : #include <pthread.h> #include <stdatomic.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> /* i is global, so it is visible to all functions.

  3. While loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/While_loop

    Because the while loop checks the condition/expression before the block is executed, the control structure is often also known as a pre-test loop. Compare this with the do while loop, which tests the condition/expression after the loop has executed. For example, in the languages C, Java, C#, [2] Objective-C, and C++, (which use the same syntax ...

  5. Keyboard interrupt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_interrupt

    In computing, keyboard interrupt may refer to: A special case of signal (computing) , a condition (often implemented as an exception) usually generated by the keyboard in the text user interface A hardware interrupt generated when a key is pressed or released, see keyboard controller (computing)

  6. Control flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_flow

    If xxx1 is omitted, we get a loop with the test at the top (a traditional while loop). If xxx2 is omitted, we get a loop with the test at the bottom, equivalent to a do while loop in many languages. If while is omitted, we get an infinite loop. The construction here can be thought of as a do loop with the while check in the middle. Hence this ...

  7. Signal (IPC) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_(IPC)

    The SIGINT signal is sent to a process by its controlling terminal when a user wishes to interrupt the process. This is typically initiated by pressing Ctrl+C, but on some systems, the "delete" character or "break" key can be used. [13] SIGKILL The SIGKILL signal is sent to a process to cause it to terminate immediately (kill). In contrast to ...

  8. Interrupt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrupt

    A hardware interrupt is a condition related to the state of the hardware that may be signaled by an external hardware device, e.g., an interrupt request (IRQ) line on a PC, or detected by devices embedded in processor logic (e.g., the CPU timer in IBM System/370), to communicate that the device needs attention from the operating system (OS) [7] or, if there is no OS, from the bare metal ...

  9. Event-driven programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event-driven_programming

    For example, a single left-button mouse-click on a command button in a GUI program may trigger a routine that will open another window, save data to a database or exit the application. Many IDEs provide the programmer with GUI event templates, allowing the programmer to focus on writing the event code.
