  2. Garbage collection (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_collection...

    Stop-and-copy garbage collection in a Lisp architecture: [1] Memory is divided into working and free memory; new objects are allocated in the former. When it is full (depicted), garbage collection is performed: All data structures still in use are located by pointer tracing and copied into consecutive locations in free memory.

  3. HTTP cookie - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie

    The server would answer by sending the requested page, possibly including more Set-Cookie header fields in the HTTP response in order to instruct the browser to add new cookies, modify existing cookies, or remove existing cookies. To remove a cookie, the server must include a Set-Cookie header field with an expiration date in the past.

  4. new and delete (C++) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_and_delete_(C++)

    This requests a memory buffer from the free store that is large enough to hold a contiguous array of N objects of type T, and calls the default constructor on each element of the array. Memory allocated with the new[] must be deallocated with the delete[] operator, rather than delete. Using the inappropriate form results in undefined behavior ...

  5. Buffer overflow protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow_protection

    Canaries or canary words or stack cookies are known values that are placed between a buffer and control data on the stack to monitor buffer overflows. When the buffer overflows, the first data to be corrupted will usually be the canary, and a failed verification of the canary data will therefore alert of an overflow, which can then be handled, for example, by invalidating the corrupted data.

  6. SpiderMonkey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpiderMonkey

    PythonMonkey uses SpiderMonkey to allow users to write programs where JavaScript and Python functions, types, and events interoperate and (where possible) share memory storage. [26] The text-based web browser ELinks uses SpiderMonkey to support JavaScript [27] Parts of SpiderMonkey are used in the Wine project's JScript (re-)implementation [28]

  7. Data remanence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_remanence

    Data remanence is the residual representation of digital data that remains even after attempts have been made to remove or erase the data. This residue may result from data being left intact by a nominal file deletion operation, by reformatting of storage media that does not remove data previously written to the media, or through physical properties of the storage media that allow previously ...

  8. MUMPS syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUMPS_syntax

    The scope of local variables is determined by using the 'new' command to declare the variable. Declaration is optional - an undeclared variable is in scope for all routines running in the same process. A declared variable is accessible at the stack level it was declared, and remains accessible as long as that stack level exists. This means that ...

  9. Variable (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_(computer_science)

    A variable can eventually be associated with or identified by a memory address. The variable name is the usual way to reference the stored value, in addition to referring to the variable itself, depending on the context. This separation of name and content allows the name to be used independently of the exact information it represents.
