In C, variables with static storage duration that are not initialized explicitly are initialized to zero (or null, for pointers). [ 3 ] Not only are uninitialized variables a frequent cause of bugs, but this kind of bug is particularly serious because it may not be reproducible: for instance, a variable may remain uninitialized only in some ...
Since C23, a null pointer is represented with nullptr which is of type nullptr_t (something originally introduced to C++11), providing a type safe null pointer. [6] The C standard does not say that the null pointer is the same as the pointer to memory address 0, though that may be the case in practice. Dereferencing a null pointer is undefined ...
In object-oriented computer programming, a null object is an object with no referenced value or with defined neutral (null) behavior.The null object design pattern, which describes the uses of such objects and their behavior (or lack thereof), was first published as "Void Value" [1] and later in the Pattern Languages of Program Design book series as "Null Object".
Other escape sequences that are found in use in various languages are \000, \x00, \z, or \u0000. A null character can be placed in a URL with the percent code %00. The ability to represent a null character does not always mean the resulting string will be correctly interpreted, as many programs will consider the null to be the end of the string.
The file mode is only used if the flags include O_CREAT. It is common to use a two-argument form of open, which provides an undefined value for the file mode, when O_CREAT is omitted. Sometimes it is useful to work with such undefined values in a limited way. The overall computation can still be well-defined if the undefined value is later ignored.
The maximum size of size_t is provided via SIZE_MAX, a macro constant which is defined in the <stdint.h> header (cstdint header in C++). size_t is guaranteed to be at least 16 bits wide. Additionally, POSIX includes ssize_t , which is a signed integer type of the same width as size_t .
Some file systems, such as Btrfs, HAMMER, ReFS, and ZFS, use internal data and metadata checksumming to detect silent data corruption. In addition, if a corruption is detected and the file system uses integrated RAID mechanisms that provide data redundancy, such file systems can also reconstruct corrupted data in a transparent way.
