Overflow cannot occur when the sign of two addition operands are different (or the sign of two subtraction operands are the same). [1] When binary values are interpreted as unsigned numbers, the overflow flag is meaningless and normally ignored. One of the advantages of two's complement arithmetic is that the addition and subtraction operations ...
Integer overflow can be demonstrated through an odometer overflowing, a mechanical version of the phenomenon. All digits are set to the maximum 9 and the next increment of the white digit causes a cascade of carry-over additions setting all digits to 0, but there is no higher digit (1,000,000s digit) to change to a 1, so the counter resets to zero.
An example is what happens if one were to add 255 and 255 using 8-bit registers. The result should be 510 which is the 9-bit value 111111110 in binary. The 8 least significant bits always stored in the register would be 11111110 binary (254 decimal) but since there is carry out of bit 7 (the eight bit), the carry is set, indicating that the ...
0x90 is the one-byte encoding for XCHG AX,AX in 16-bit code and XCHG EAX,EAX in 32-bit code. In long mode, XCHG RAX,RAX requires two bytes, as it would begin with an REX.W prefix, making the encoding 0x48 0x90. However, 0x90 is interpreted as a NOP in long mode regardless of whether it is preceded by 0x48. [2] multi-byte NOP
Bit fields can be used to reduce memory consumption when a program requires a number of integer variables which always will have low values. For example, in many systems, storing an integer value requires two bytes (16-bits) of memory; sometimes the values to be stored actually need only one or two bits.
A code sanitizer is a programming tool that detects bugs in the form of undefined or suspicious behavior by a compiler inserting instrumentation code at runtime. The class of tools was first introduced by Google's AddressSanitizer (or ASan) of 2012, which uses directly mapped shadow memory to detect memory corruption such as buffer overflows or accesses to a dangling pointer (use-after-free).
General Hospital just bid goodbye to a major character.. During the Friday, Dec. 13 episode, fan-favorite Dex Heller, played by Evan Hofer, met his demise. Dex had been expected to make a full ...
This unit contains a set of classes that allow you to: get information about an object's class and its ancestors, properties, methods and events, change property values and call methods. The following example shows the use of the RTTI module to obtain information about the class to which an object belongs, creating it, and to call its method.
