Interesting. I feel this applies more specifically to isosurfaces than generalized meshes, but it's an interesting idea that could possibly extend to my use case. (more) |

I don't know the Codidact policy for comment response delays, and I haven't found any useful info after searching the site. I've started a meta thread [here](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/286436). If you'd like to comment or answer, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts! (more) |

"Watertight mesh" is a well-known (standard) term for what I'm describing in various CAD programs. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a dedicated computer graphics or CAD Codidact subsite where those familiar with the term might see this. Indeed, a closed polyhedron also fits this description (an... (more) |

| Question | — |
Watertight Mesh Representation A watertight mesh is one which does not have holes, and for which each face has a designated inside and outside. Such a mesh can be "tetrahedralized", has a defined volume, and can be an operand in a polyhedral boolean operation. I'm looking for a method to represent such watertight meshes that re... (more) |

Very detailed, useful answer to each part of the question. I appreciate that you pointed out that an unsized iterable can't be used to create a fixed-size array without an intermediate variable-length list. (more) |

Kotlin FloatArray from Iterable<Float> Suppose I am using a Java API from Kotlin and I want to call a function that takes a `FloatArray` (represented as `float[]` in Java), and I have an `Iterable` as my input data type. To be more precise, I have a `MutableList>`, and I'm feeding it to the function like this: ```kotlin val myList: Mu... (more) |

@#53305 I did forget about memory-mapped I/O. In that case, am I correct in assuming that C must be informed that these memory locations should be considered `volatile` to avoid implementations potentially optimizing away reads or writes from them? And is memory-mapped I/O the only way to perform I/O... (more) |

@#8056 Thank you for the insight. I've updated the question to try and better reflect the intent accordingly. (more) |

My question indeed is not concerned with calling conventions unless I am misunderstanding the term. I understand calling convention to be a protocol specific to a particular build environment that ensures proper communication across function calls. Let me try to clarify:
It says [here](https://en.cp... (more) |

This is certainly a good answer and packed with useful information, and I'm hoping to get more theoretical information than practical. For example, with that `extern` function declaration, from the standard's perspective, what happens when I make a call to `foo`? If the standard is unconcerned with t... (more) |

| Question | — |
C Language Standard Linking Specifications What (if anything) does the C standard have to say about linking objects? My guess is that, because C only defines language->behavior rules, it completely ignores any potential intermediate form the code may take. Obviously, C doesn't guarantee anything about the executable itself because it may well... (more) |

Behavior of Pointer Arithmetic on the Stack Consider the following code: ``` #include int main() { int a = 5; int b; ++(&b + 1); printf("%d\n", a); return 0; } ``` The output is as expected: ``` 6 ``` By creating and incrementing a pointer to `b`, I'm able to access `a`, since `b` is below `a` on the sta...

Well-written answer. Thank you for adding the additional example for identifier validation, it's an extremely relevant addition. (more) |

@elgonzo I've verified your idea. I've defined a regex that I want to match all identifiers that could be used to identify assets within the json, and from there I can specify a schema that I want asset descriptions to match. If you post this as an answer, I'll accept it. Thanks! (more) |

@elgonzo Would you go ahead and post this as an answer while I verify it? This looks like exactly what I was asking for. (more) |

Validate All Object Properties with JSON Schema I'm writing a JSON schema to validate asset files for a program. The JSON I need to parse is structured so: ```json { "jobs": { "software-developer": { "job-description": "sw-dev.md:0", "pay": 80000 }, "sales-bro": { "job-description": "sales-bro", "pay": 190000 } }, "people": ...
