  2. Year 2038 problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

    Attempting to increment to the following second (03:14:08) will cause the integer to overflow, setting its value to −(2 31) which systems will interpret as 2 31 seconds before epoch (20:45:52 UTC on 13 December 1901).

  3. Quadruple-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadruple-precision...

    This 128-bit quadruple precision is designed not only for applications requiring results in higher than double precision, [1] but also, as a primary function, to allow the computation of double precision results more reliably and accurately by minimising overflow and round-off errors in intermediate calculations and scratch variables.

  4. Integer overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_overflow

    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.

  5. Buffer overflow protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow_protection

    Buffer overflow protection is any of various techniques used during software development to enhance the security of executable programs by detecting buffer overflows on stack-allocated variables, and preventing them from causing program misbehavior or from becoming serious security vulnerabilities. A stack buffer overflow occurs when a program ...

  6. Rust (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(programming_language)

    The Rust compiler, rustc, translates Rust code into low-level LLVM IR. LLVM is then invoked as a subcomponent to apply optimizations and translate the resulting IR into object code . A linker is then used to combine the objects into a single executable image or binary file.

  7. Context-adaptive variable-length coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context-adaptive_variable...

    Context-adaptive variable-length coding (CAVLC) is a form of entropy coding used in H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video encoding. It is an inherently lossless compression technique, like almost all entropy-coders. In H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, it is used to encode residual, zig-zag order, blocks of transform coefficients.

  8. UTF-8 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8

    In November 2003, UTF-8 was restricted by RFC 3629 to match the constraints of the UTF-16 character encoding: explicitly prohibiting code points corresponding to the high and low surrogate characters removed more than 3% of the three-byte sequences, and ending at U+10FFFF removed more than 48% of the four-byte sequences and all five- and six ...

  9. Chunked transfer encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunked_transfer_encoding

    Chunked transfer encoding is a streaming data transfer mechanism available in Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) version 1.1, defined in RFC 9112 §7.1. In chunked transfer encoding, the data stream is divided into a series of non-overlapping "chunks".
