Strlen Description The strlen() function shall compute the number of bytes in the string to which s points, not including the terminating null byte. Return value The strlen() function shall return the length of s; the function has no failure mode and no error return. Prototype Declared in string.h size_t strlen(const char *s); Strcpy Prototype Declared in string.h In C90, the prototype is: char *strcpy(char *dest, const char *src); The C99 prototype is identical but adds the new restrict qualifiers: char *strcpy(char * restrict dest, const char * restrict src); Description The strcpy() function shall copy the null-terminated string pointed to by src to the memory pointed to by dest. Source and destination may not overlap. Return value The strcpy() function shall return the pointer dest; the function has no failure mode and no error return. Strcat Description The strcat() function shall append the null-terminated string pointed to by src to the null-terminated string pointed to by dest. The first character of src overwrites the null-terminator of dest. Source and destination may not overlap. Return value The strcat() function shall return the pointer dest; the function has no failure mode and no error return. Prototype Declared in string.h In C90, the prototype is: char *strcat(char *dest, const char *src); Strcmp Description The strcmp() function compares the string pointed to by s1 to the string pointed to by s2. Return value The strcmp() function returns an integer greater than, equal to, or less than zero, accordingly as the string pointed to by s1 is greater than, equal to, or less than the string pointed to by s2. Prototype Declared in string.h The C89/C99 prototype is: int strcmp(const char * s1, const char * s2); Strchr Description The strchr() function locates the ﬁrst occurrence of c (converted to a char) in the string pointed to by s. The terminating null character is considered to be part of the string. Return value The strchr() function returns a pointer to the located character, or a null pointer if the character does not occur in the string. Prototype Declared in string.h The C89/C99 prototype is: char *strchr(const char *s, int c); .

Cheat Sheets of the C Standard Library
Cheat Sheets of the C standard library Version 1.06 Last updated: 2012-11-28 About This document is a set of quick reference sheets (or ‘cheat sheets’) of the ANSI C standard library. It contains function and macro declarations in every header of the library, as well as notes about their usage. This document covers C++, but does not cover the C99 or C11 standard. A few non-ANSI-standard functions, if they are interesting enough, are also included. Style used in this document Function names, prototypes and their parameters are in monospace. Remarks of functions and parameters are marked italic and enclosed in ‘/*’ and ‘*/’ like C comments. Data types, whether they are built-in types or provided by the C standard library, are also marked in monospace. Types of parameters and return types are in bold. Type modifiers, like ‘const’ and ‘unsigned’, have smaller font sizes in order to save space. Macro constants are marked using proportional typeface, uppercase, and no italics, LIKE_THIS_ONE. One exception is L_tmpnum, which is the constant that uses lowercase letters. Example: int system ( const char * command ); /* system: The value returned depends on the running environment. Usually 0 when executing successfully. If command == NULL, system returns whether the command processor exists (0 if not). */ License Copyright © 2011 Kang-Che “Explorer” Sung (宋岡哲 <explorer09 @ gmail.com>) This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ .

Nesc 1.2 Language Reference Manual
nesC 1.2 Language Reference Manual David Gay, Philip Levis, David Culler, Eric Brewer August 2005 1 Introduction nesC is an extension to C [3] designed to embody the structuring concepts and execution model of TinyOS [2]. TinyOS is an event-driven operating system designed for sensor network nodes that have very limited resources (e.g., 8K bytes of program memory, 512 bytes of RAM). TinyOS has been reimplemented in nesC. This manual describes v1.2 of nesC, changes from v1.0 and v1.1 are summarised in Section 2. The basic concepts behind nesC are: • Separation of construction and composition: programs are built out of components, which are assembled (“wired”) to form whole programs. Components define two scopes, one for their specification (containing the names of their interfaces) and one for their implementation. Components have internal concurrency in the form of tasks. Threads of control may pass into a component through its interfaces. These threads are rooted either in a task or a hardware interrupt. • Specification of component behaviour in terms of set of interfaces. Interfaces may be provided or used by the component. The provided interfaces are intended to represent the functionality that the component provides to its user, the used interfaces represent the functionality the component needs to perform its job. • Interfaces are bidirectional: they specify a set of functions to be implemented by the inter- face’s provider (commands) and a set to be implemented by the interface’s user (events). This allows a single interface to represent a complex interaction between components (e.g., registration of interest in some event, followed by a callback when that event happens).

C Language Features
C Language Features 5.4 SUPPORTED DATA TYPES AND VARIABLES 5.4.1 Identifiers A C variable identifier (the following is also true for function identifiers) is a sequence of letters and digits, where the underscore character “_” counts as a letter. Identifiers cannot start with a digit. Although they can start with an underscore, such identifiers are reserved for the compiler’s use and should not be defined by your programs. Such is not the case for assembly domain identifiers, which often begin with an underscore, see Section 5.12.3.1 “Equivalent Assembly Symbols”. Identifiers are case sensitive, so main is different to Main. Not every character is significant in an identifier. The maximum number of significant characters can be set using an option, see Section 4.8.8 “-N: Identifier Length”. If two identifiers differ only after the maximum number of significant characters, then the compiler will consider them to be the same symbol. 5.4.2 Integer Data Types The MPLAB XC8 compiler supports integer data types with 1, 2, 3 and 4 byte sizes as well as a single bit type. Table 5-1 shows the data types and their corresponding size and arithmetic type. The default type for each type is underlined. TABLE 5-1: INTEGER DATA TYPES Type Size (bits) Arithmetic Type bit 1 Unsigned integer signed char 8 Signed integer unsigned char 8 Unsigned integer signed short 16 Signed integer unsigned short 16 Unsigned integer signed int 16 Signed integer unsigned int 16 Unsigned integer signed short long 24 Signed integer unsigned short long 24 Unsigned integer signed long 32 Signed integer unsigned long 32 Unsigned integer signed long long 32 Signed integer unsigned long long 32 Unsigned integer The bit and short long types are non-standard types available in this implementa- tion.

An ECMA-55 Minimal BASIC Compiler for X86-64 Linux®
Computers 2014, 3, 69-116; doi:10.3390/computers3030069 OPEN ACCESS computers ISSN 2073-431X www.mdpi.com/journal/computers Article An ECMA-55 Minimal BASIC Compiler for x86-64 Linux® John Gatewood Ham Burapha University, Faculty of Informatics, 169 Bangsaen Road, Tambon Saensuk, Amphur Muang, Changwat Chonburi 20131, Thailand; E-mail: [email protected] Received: 24 July 2014; in revised form: 17 September 2014 / Accepted: 1 October 2014 / Published: 1 October 2014 Abstract: This paper describes a new non-optimizing compiler for the ECMA-55 Minimal BASIC language that generates x86-64 assembler code for use on the x86-64 Linux® [1] 3.x platform. The compiler was implemented in C99 and the generated assembly language is in the AT&T style and is for the GNU assembler. The generated code is stand-alone and does not require any shared libraries to run, since it makes system calls to the Linux® kernel directly. The floating point math uses the Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions and the compiler fully implements all of the floating point exception handling required by the ECMA-55 standard. This compiler is designed to be small, simple, and easy to understand for people who want to study a compiler that actually implements full error checking on floating point on x86-64 CPUs even if those people have little programming experience. The generated assembly code is also designed to be simple to read. Keywords: BASIC; compiler; AMD64; INTEL64; EM64T; x86-64; assembly 1.

Advanced Openmp
Advanced OpenMP Other APIs What’s wrong with OpenMP? • OpenMP is designed for programs where you want a fixed number of threads, and you always want the threads to be consuming CPU cycles. – cannot arbitrarily start/stop threads – cannot put threads to sleep and wake them up later • OpenMP is good for programs where each thread is doing (more-or-less) the same thing. • Although OpenMP supports C++, it’s not especially OO friendly – though it is gradually getting better. • OpenMP doesn’t support Java What’s wrong with Java threads? • Lacks some of the higher level functionality of OpenMP • Performance of Java may not match that of Fortran or C • OO model doesn’t suit some types of scientific computation very well • Some HPC systems don’t support Java – there is no standardised interface for message passing in Java What are the alternatives? • POSIX threads • C++ threads • Intel TBB • Cilk • OpenCL (not an exhaustive list!) POSIX threads • POSIX threads (or Pthreads) is a standard library for shared memory programming without directives. – Part of the ANSI/IEEE 1003.1 standard (1996) • Interface is a C library – no standard Fortran interface – can be used with C++, but not OO friendly • Widely available – even for Windows – typically installed as part of OS – code is pretty portable • Lots of low-level control over behaviour of threads • Execution model similar to Java threads Thread forking #include <pthread.h> int pthread_create( pthread_t *thread, const pthread_attr_t *attr, void*(*start_routine, void*), void *arg) • Creates a new thread: – first argument returns a pointer to a thread descriptor. – can set attributes.

02 - Lecture - C Language Basics
02 - Lecture - C language basics --------------------------------- Data types in C ---------------- char <= short <= int <= long <= long long - C standard does not specify byte sizes of these types. - on most systems: char is 1 byte, short is 2, int is 4, long long is 8. - long is the problematic one: Most 32-bit systems and 64-bit Windows: 4 bytes 64-bit UNIX (such as our Linux system): 8 bytes Java: 8 bytes - if you need to ensure byte sizes, use int<N>_t types: - int8_t, int16_t, int32_t, int64_t - #include <stdint.h> - defined in C99 standard - binary numbers and their hexadecimal representations Binary Dec Hex Binary Dec Hex 0000 0 0 1000 8 8 0001 1 1 1001 9 9 0010 2 2 1010 10 A 0011 3 3 1011 11 B 0100 4 4 1100 12 C 0101 5 5 1101 13 D 0110 6 6 1110 14 E 0111 7 7 1111 15 F - two’s-complement encoding for representing negative numbers - assign negative weight to the most significant bit (MSB) - results in asymmetry - there is one more negative number - some important numbers at the boundaries: 0x00....00 0x7F....FF 0x80....00 0xFF....FF - to negate n-bit integer: binary-subtract the number from 2^n, or equivalently, flip the bits and binary-add 1. - examples of integer variable decralations: int x; int x, y; int x = 0, y; char c = ’x’; char c = ’\n’; char c = ’\13’; char c = ’0’; char c = ’\0’; char c = 0; long x = 0L; unsigned version of all of the above unsigned long x = 0, y = 0xff00ff00ff00ff00UL uint32_t x = 0xffffffff - conversion between signed and unsigned preserves bit patterns: char c = -1; unsigned char uc = c; int i = uc;

Proposal for C2x WG14 N2334 Title: the Deprecated Attribute Author, Affiliation: Aaron Ballman, Grammatech Date: 2019-01-22 Prop
Proposal for C2x WG14 N2334 Title: The deprecated attribute Author, affiliation: Aaron Ballman, GrammaTech Date: 2019-01-22 Proposal category: New features Target audience: General developers, compiler/tooling developers Abstract: Sometimes an API no longer meets the developer's needs and should be retired from use. Lacking such machinery, the producer of the code must rely on unreliable sources such as documentation to convey the information to the consumer of the API. This paper proposes a new attribute, deprecated, to convey this information. Prior art: C++ has this feature using the same syntax. Various vendors have vendor-specific extensions such as __attribute__((deprecated)) and __declspec(deprecated) that provide a similar mechanism. The deprecated attribute Reply-to: Aaron Ballman ([email protected]; [email protected]) Document No: N2334 Revises Document No: N2266 Date: 2019-01-22 Summary of Changes N2334 • Updated examples to demonstrate passing a string literal argument. • Changed footnote to make it more clear that there are many reasons one might wish to deprecate an API that are not related to safety or obsolescence. N2266 • Added a new section to the paper on Implementation Divergence. • Rearranged and renumbered paragraphs; the [Note] is now a Recommended Practice section. • Changed 6.7.11.1p5 to clarify the desire to not diagnose uses of a deprecated entity within a context which is itself deprecated. • Update the informative examples to demonstrate hoped-for behavior from implementations. N2214 • Added the appropriate cover page. • Rebased on top of N2165, the latest attributes syntax proposal • Replaced “non-static data member” with “struct or union member” N2050 • Original proposal.
