  2. Buffer over-read - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_over-read

    Programming languages commonly associated with buffer over-reads include C and C++, which provide no built-in protection against using pointers to access data in any part of virtual memory, and which do not automatically check that reading data from a block of memory is safe; respective examples are attempting to read more elements than ...

  3. read (system call) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read_(system_call)

    In modern POSIX compliant operating systems, a program that needs to access data from a file stored in a file system uses the read system call. The file is identified by a file descriptor that is normally obtained from a previous call to open .

  4. Message passing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_passing

    In computer science, message passing is a technique for invoking behavior (i.e., running a program) on a computer.The invoking program sends a message to a process (which may be an actor or object) and relies on that process and its supporting infrastructure to then select and run some appropriate code.

  5. Non-blocking algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-blocking_algorithm

    Non-blocking algorithms generally involve a series of read, read-modify-write, and write instructions in a carefully designed order. Optimizing compilers can aggressively re-arrange operations. Even when they don't, many modern CPUs often re-arrange such operations (they have a "weak consistency model "), unless a memory barrier is used to tell ...

  6. read (Unix) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read_(Unix)

    read is a command found on Unix and Unix-like operating systems such as Linux. It reads a line of input from standard input or a file passed as an argument to its -u flag, and assigns it to a variable.

    Don Woods, one of the authors of INTERCAL, in 2010 Jim Lyon, the other author of INTERCAL, in 2005. The Compiler Language With No Pronounceable Acronym (INTERCAL) is an esoteric programming language that was created as a parody by Don Woods and James M. Lyon [], two Princeton University students, in 1972.

  8. Run-time type information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-time_type_information

    In computer programming, run-time type information or run-time type identification (RTTI) [1] is a feature of some programming languages (such as C++, [2] Object Pascal, and Ada [3]) that exposes information about an object's data type at runtime.

  9. One-pass compiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-pass_compiler

    One-pass compilers are unable to generate as efficient programs as multi-pass compilers due to the limited scope of available information. Many effective compiler optimizations require multiple passes over a basic block , loop (especially nested loops), subroutine, or entire module.
