Schrödinger's tag - appears in view mode, but not in edit

+2
−0

After removing two tags and adding another one for this question I have noticed that the tag list is not the same between view mode and edit:

  • View mode: stack-memory + heap-memory + ram + memory-management
  • Edit mode: stack + heap + memory-management

Before editing the question, I have renamed [stack] to [stack-memory] and [heap] to [heap-memory]. I have removed [ram] (did not seem relevant in the question) along with another tag (along with [register] who disappeared for good).

I imagine something wrong happened when I have edited the tag list (removal + addition).

It’s a zombie tag. I think it has something to do with Halloween...

@ArtOfCode I have made the edit 6h ago and I thought the same thing and waited and rechecked. So less likely to blame the cache.

It's a non-expiring cache, @Alexei - only shows up in specific situations, but that's one of them. Most of the time it's correctly in sync, but every now and then...

Why did you think that RAM was an irrelevant tag to a question discussing different memory segments in RAM (as opposed to NVM)?

Alexei‭ wrote over 3 years ago

@Lundin After reading the post, I did not see anything directly related to RAM memory (not sure, but memory management at application level normally deals with the virtual memory not with RAM directly). Indeed the answer argues about the RAM, but tagging applies to the question, not the answers. Feel free to keep the tag, if you think it is relevant though.

Physical vs virtual memory has nothing to do with the subject. From a general computer perspective, memory segments either reside in RAM or ROM, where RAM is a sloppy but industry standard term for "read/write memory".
