Any code that is not part of the C source code (such as a function provided by some object/machine code written in assembler) has its behavior obviously not described by the C source code nor the C standard, and from the perspective of C is thusly undefined behavior. (In other words, neither the C st... (more) |

> This would mean that every kernel ever written that has any I/O of any kind is not standards-compliant C.
Incorrect. You cannot become non-compliant by "violating" non-existing parts of the standard.

> Therefore, the C standard cannot confine itself solely to rules applying to a single translation unit; it must have something to say about linking.
It does. See section 6.2.2 Linkages of identifiers. In case you don't have the actual C standard at hand, here is the PDF for C18: http://www.open-s... (more) |

If your code calls some externally defined function, and the linker is unable to link the call with the actual function implementation because there is no such function implementation, of course the build will... (more) |

(2/2) Compilers might (and often do) provide additional keyword extensions not covered by the C standard to allow specifying a particular calling convention (such as `_stdcall`, `_cdecl` or `_fastcall`, for example).

I am not quite sure what you are trying to ask about, but i am assuming for now you are asking wrt calling conventions. The C standard is unconcerned about calling conventions and does not try to lay down a "law" about that. It explicitly leaves the layout of storage for parameters of externally defi... (more) |

I am not trying to be facetious or snarky here. A debugger is a fundamental software development tool. I would go as a far as saying that a debugger is almost as fundamental as the text editor function required to write and edit source code and the compiler or interpreter required for processing the ...

> Why is it like that?
If you have difficulties understanding what your program is doing and just looking at the source code doesn't help you get an understanding, then it's time to use a debugger to inspect and observe what your code/program is actually doing, and why it behaves the way it does..... (more) |

All in all, without making sweeping assumptions about what specific CPU SKUs are in the nodes the asker is using, i think the Win32_Processor caption string provided by WMI is not that practical, unless you already have a table that maps CPU family/generation + (extended) model number to feature set....

@#54710 (2/2) Only if you have accomplished these three tasks (write text lines to a file; read text lines from one file and write them to another file; using strstr) individually and independently, **and only then**, it is time for the concluding task: Combine the text line reading and writing with ...

@#54710 Start with figuring out how to _write_ strings/text lines to a (new) file. Don't think about finding and removing text lines, yet. Solve this task first. Exercise it, make it work successfully.
If you have accomplished that, figure out how to read a text line from a file and write it to an... (more) |

Don't make your life more difficult than you have to. Do you really want to find a word (in the orthographic sense) in some text line of your text file? At your current skill level, this would not be trivial for you, a fountain of frustration and a distraction rife with disappointment.

@#54710, no, there is no such function available -- not as a single function. Modifying file content is highly specific to the individual application scenario or use case. Since this cannot be really well generalized to cover a wide gamut of use cases, you will be hard pressed to find any such a func... (more) |

Ajax is frontend-side (client-side). If you want to keep the email address in the backend (server-side), then it is a backend concern, not a frontend/Ajax concern. Therefore, the answer to your question "_What Ajax pattern will you use to do so?_" will be "_None_", because it is of no concern to the ... (more) |

For now i personally feel it would serve you much better if you separate both concerns (modelling you application/business logic + data structures vs. the implementation of the logic + data structures), and try to do them separately and sequentially as much as possible.
In the future, if you have ... (more) |

Before you start coding/implementing, spend some effort in actually designing/modelling both the desired application/business logic and the related data structures in detail and completely.
From your code snippet, it rather looks like that you started coding just with a vague notion but lacking a ... (more) |

Because the array can be thought of as a representation of a binary tree, specifically a "**complete binary tree**".

... in other words "heapify" describes the act of turning something into a heap data structure. Within the context of heapsort, this describes turning a binary tree into a "max heap" / "binary heap". The `heapify()` method does just that. (Btw, a max/binary heap is just a binary tree obeying specific... (more) |

Ah, i see. I unfortunately cannot offer help with your problem.

@#36363, the endpoint of a request is given by a URL, not a file. If the URL itself specifies some file name, then it's just part of that URL.

`fetch()` is chiefly about making requests, and is not about "actions" or "php". So why would you expect `fetch()`'s documentation to say something about random things that are not about requests themselves?
And how you should realize your `fetch()` or `submit()` depends entirely on **how** you h... (more) |

Clearly, `compare` is a function pointer **and** an input parameter for the BubbleSort method. But in your _main_ method, you don't provide a function pointer there: `BubbleSort(A,6);` What do you think will happen because of that omission?

The question then boils down to how could you possibly match against a given fragment in a URL. Frankly and unfortunately, i don't know.
