  2. Uninitialized variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninitialized_variable

    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 ...

  3. Initialization (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initialization_(programming)

    In C++, a constructor of a class/struct can have an initializer list within the definition but prior to the constructor body. It is important to note that when you use an initialization list, the values are not assigned to the variable. They are initialized. In the below example, 0 is initialized into re and im. Example:

  4. .bss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.bss

    In C, statically allocated objects without an explicit initializer are initialized to zero (for arithmetic types) or a null pointer (for pointer types).Implementations of C typically represent zero values and null pointer values using a bit pattern consisting solely of zero-valued bits (despite filling bss with zero is not required by the C standard, all variables in .bss are required to be ...

  5. Lazy initialization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_initialization

    This is typically accomplished by augmenting an accessor method (or property getter) to check whether a private member, acting as a cache, has already been initialized. If it has, it is returned straight away. If not, a new instance is created, placed into the member variable, and returned to the caller just-in-time for its first use.

  6. Hardware abstraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction

    A hardware abstraction layer (HAL) is an abstraction layer, implemented in software, between the physical hardware of a computer and the software that runs on that computer. . Its function is to hide differences in hardware from most of the operating system kernel, so that most of the kernel-mode code does not need to be changed to run on systems with different hardwa

  7. Data segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_segment

    In computing, a data segment (often denoted .data) is a portion of an object file or the corresponding address space of a program that contains initialized static variables, that is, global variables and static local variables. The size of this segment is determined by the size of the values in the program's source code, and does not change at ...

  8. Trim (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trim_(computing)

    TRIM tells the SSD to mark an LBA region as invalid and subsequent reads on the region will not return any meaningful data. For a very brief time, the data could still reside on the flash internally. For a very brief time, the data could still reside on the flash internally.

  9. Static variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_variable

    In computer programming, a static variable is a variable that has been allocated "statically", meaning that its lifetime (or "extent") is the entire run of the program. This is in contrast to shorter-lived automatic variables, whose storage is stack allocated and deallocated on the call stack; and in contrast to dynamically allocated objects, whose storage is allocated and deallocated in heap ...
