There is the object of this discussion, systemd, that has always been about "starting things in parallel" to make it "boot faster" but there has never been a proper benchmark (the distrowatch guy said, when asked,

Of course nobody benchmarked. Rarely are there programmers in OSS these days that benchmark anything. (not nearly as common as those who claim "speed") There was a bug though where the journaling was so slow it caused the whole se

Maybe only a few pages remain as programs don't inherit memory from their parents. It could be done for those strings but consider that mappings are in 4k pages (so the rest of the page would have to be cleared to 0).

The kernel copies the strings you pass in the array of pointers. (haven't checked though, but it is better then the alternative of not copying and dealing with the mess)

by gens 10y ago
I don't understand why it is limited to 255 chars. The kernel copies the string(s) into the programs memory so it would be a kernel bug if the program got a non null-terminated or too long string. More importantly this program has a bu

Since this is a "vs" can i assume that rust is better in all regards to C ? As in that rust is flawless ? Or should it be "Rust vs C's Pitfalls" ?

If i'm not misunderstanding you.. (as i didn't watch most of the videos there) See data-oriented programming (not to be confused with data-driven). In the end code just processes data.

While amd64 is better in that it gives more registers for compilers to use, we rarely need to "move on". In fact many programs will work better (more efficient, faster) with 32bit pointers (as many programs would with 16bit intege

I remember reading a long time ago about the syntaxes and the author said that it is because AT&T assembled faster. Makes sense considering that the intel syntax requires some backtracking (or more of temporary data). (please don&#x27

Yes, was just about to correct myself, sizeof(char) is always 1. Nevermind me.

>Actually, since C99, sizeof char is defined to be 1 (byte). The number of bits in a byte is implementation-defined. (edit: i misread, it's always 1) To be pedantic, a size of char is defined by CHAR_BIT in limits.h. As well as all

They couldn't use the shorter code space. So no, they could not do whatever they wanted. (note that making a completely new instruction encoding scheme would fail for obvious reasons)

Amd64 encoding, as is the case with most x86 encodings, is longer then it should be. Due to the two companies not communicating/cooperating. That is the one advantage that i think ARM has over x86/amd64. That ARM encoding is much
