  2. Environment variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable

    The %ProgramFiles% itself depends on whether the process requesting the environment variable is itself 32-bit or 64-bit (this is caused by Windows-on-Windows 64-bit redirection). %OneDrive% The %OneDrive% variable is a special system-wide environment variable found on Windows NT and its derivatives. Its value is the path of where (if installed ...

  3. TEST (x86 instruction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TEST_(x86_instruction)

    In the x86 assembly language, the TEST instruction performs a bitwise AND on two operands. The flags SF, ZF, PF are modified while the result of the AND is discarded. The OF and CF flags are set to 0, while AF flag is undefined. There are 9 different opcodes for the TEST instruction depending on the type and size of the operands. It can compare ...

  5. 64-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computing

    The 64-bit Windows Native Mode [39] driver environment runs atop 64-bit NTDLL.DLL, which cannot call 32-bit Win32 subsystem code (often devices whose actual hardware function is emulated in user mode software, like Winprinters). Because 64-bit drivers for most devices were unavailable until early 2007 (Vista x64), using a 64-bit version of ...

  6. Pointer (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer_(computer_programming)

    A pointer is a programming concept used in computer science to reference or point to a memory location that stores a value or an object. It is essentially a variable that stores the memory address of another variable or data structure rather than storing the data itself.

  7. Thread-local storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread-local_storage

    The application programming interface (API) function TlsAlloc can be used to obtain an unused TLS slot index; the TLS slot index will then be considered 'used'.. The TlsGetValue and TlsSetValue functions are then used to read and write a memory address to a thread-local variable identified by the TLS slot index.

  8. x86 calling conventions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_calling_conventions

    POD return values 33–64 bits in size are returned via the EAX:EDX registers. Non-POD return values or values larger than 64-bits, the calling code will allocate space and passes a pointer to this space via a hidden parameter on the stack. The called function writes the return value to this address. Stack aligned on 4-byte boundary. stdcall ...

  9. Tracing garbage collection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracing_garbage_collection

    The reachability definition of "garbage" is not optimal, insofar as the last time a program uses an object could be long before that object falls out of the environment scope. A distinction is sometimes drawn between syntactic garbage , those objects the program cannot possibly reach, and semantic garbage , those objects the program will in ...
