Undefined Behaviour in the C Language
FAKULTA INFORMATIKY, MASARYKOVA UNIVERZITA Undefined Behaviour in the C Language BAKALÁŘSKÁ PRÁCE Tobiáš Kamenický Brno, květen 2015 Declaration Hereby I declare, that this paper is my original authorial work, which I have worked out by my own. All sources, references, and literature used or excerpted during elaboration of this work are properly cited and listed in complete reference to the due source. Vedoucí práce: RNDr. Adam Rambousek ii Acknowledgements I am very grateful to my supervisor Miroslav Franc for his guidance, invaluable help and feedback throughout the work on this thesis. iii Summary This bachelor’s thesis deals with the concept of undefined behavior and its aspects. It explains some specific undefined behaviors extracted from the C standard and provides each with a detailed description from the view of a programmer and a tester. It summarizes the possibilities to prevent and to test these undefined behaviors. To achieve that, some compilers and tools are introduced and further described. The thesis contains a set of example programs to ease the understanding of the discussed undefined behaviors. Keywords undefined behavior, C, testing, detection, secure coding, analysis tools, standard, programming language iv Table of Contents Declaration ................................................................................................................................ ii Acknowledgements .................................................................................................................. iii Summary ................................................................................................................................. -

ACCU 2015 “New” Features in C
"New" Features in C ACCU 2015 “New” Features in C Dan Saks Saks & Associates www.dansaks.com 1 Abstract The first international standard for the C programming language was C90. Since then, two newer standards have been published, C99 and C11. C99 introduced a significant number of new features. C11 introduced a few more, some of which have been available in compilers for some time. Curiously, many of these added features don’t seem to have caught on. Many C programmers still program in C90. This session explains many of these “new” features, including declarations in for-statements, typedef redefinitions, inline functions, complex arithmetic, extended integer types, variable- length arrays, flexible array members, compound literals, designated initializers, restricted pointers, type-qualified array parameters, anonymous structures and unions, alignment support, non-returning functions, and static assertions. 2 Copyright © 2015 by Daniel Saks 1 "New" Features in C About Dan Saks Dan Saks is the president of Saks & Associates, which offers training and consulting in C and C++ and their use in developing embedded systems.

Tuning C++ Applications for the Latest Generation X64 Processors with PGI Compilers and Tools
Tuning C++ Applications for the Latest Generation x64 Processors with PGI Compilers and Tools Douglas Doerfler and David Hensinger Sandia National Laboratories Brent Leback and Douglas Miles The Portland Group (PGI) ABSTRACT: At CUG 2006, a cache oblivious implementation of a two dimensional Lagrangian hydrodynamics model of a single ideal gas material was presented. This paper presents further optimizations to this C++ application to allow packed, consecutive-element storage of vectors, some restructuring of loops containing neighborhood operations, and adding type qualifiers to some C++ pointer declarations to improve performance. In addition to restructuring of the application, analysis of the compiler-generated code resulted in improvements to the latest PGI C++ compiler in the area of loop-carried redundancy elimination, resolution of pointer aliasing conflicts, and vectorization of loops containing min and max reductions. These restructuring and compiler optimization efforts by PGI and Sandia have resulted in application speedups of 1.25 to 1.80 on the latest generation of x64 processors.

Software II: Principles of Programming Languages
Software II: Principles of Programming Languages Lecture 6 – Data Types Some Basic Definitions • A data type defines a collection of data objects and a set of predefined operations on those objects • A descriptor is the collection of the attributes of a variable • An object represents an instance of a user- defined (abstract data) type • One design issue for all data types: What operations are defined and how are they specified? Primitive Data Types • Almost all programming languages provide a set of primitive data types • Primitive data types: Those not defined in terms of other data types • Some primitive data types are merely reflections of the hardware • Others require only a little non-hardware support for their implementation The Integer Data Type • Almost always an exact reflection of the hardware so the mapping is trivial • There may be as many as eight different integer types in a language • Java’s signed integer sizes: byte , short , int , long The Floating Point Data Type • Model real numbers, but only as approximations • Languages for scientific use support at least two floating-point types (e.g., float and double ; sometimes more • Usually exactly like the hardware, but not always • IEEE Floating-Point Standard 754 Complex Data Type • Some languages support a complex type, e.g., C99, Fortran, and Python • Each value consists of two floats, the real part and the imaginary part • Literal form real component – (in Fortran: (7, 3) imaginary – (in Python): (7 + 3j) component The Decimal Data Type • For business applications (money) -

Supercomputing in Plain English Exercise #3: Arithmetic Operations in This Exercise, We’Ll Use the Same Conventions and Commands As in Exercises #1 and #2
Supercomputing in Plain English Exercise #3: Arithmetic Operations In this exercise, we’ll use the same conventions and commands as in Exercises #1 and #2. You should refer back to the Exercise #1 and #2 descriptions for details on various Unix commands. You MUST complete Exercises #1 and #2 BEFORE starting Exercise #3. For Exercise #3, YOU ARE EXPECTED TO KNOW HOW TO ACCOMPLISH BASIC TASKS, based on your experiences with Exercises #1 and #2. In the exercise, you’ll benchmark various arithmetic operations, using various compilers and levels of compiler optimization. Specifically, you’ll benchmark using the following compilers: the GNU Fortran compiler, gfortran, for various optimization levels; the Intel Fortran compiler, ifort, for various optimization levels; the Portland Group Fortran compiler, pgf90, for various optimization levels. Here are the steps for this exercise: 1. Log in to the Linux cluster supercomputer (sooner.oscer.ou.edu). 2. Copy the ArithmeticOperations directory: % cp -r ~hneeman/SIPE2011_exercises/ArithmeticOperations/ ~/SIPE2011_exercises/ 3. Choose which language you want to use (C or Fortran90), and cd into the appropriate directory: % cd ~/SIPE2011_exercises/ArithmeticOperations/C/ OR: % cd ~/SIPE2011_exercises/ArithmeticOperations/Fortran90/ 4. Edit the batch script arithmetic_operations.bsub so that it contains your username and your e-mail address. 5. Compile, using the shell script named make_cmd (a shell script is a file containing a sequence of Unix commands), which in turn invokes the make command: % make_cmd If that doesn’t work, try this: % ./make_cmd 6. Submit the batch job: % bsub < arithmetic_operations.bsub 7. Once the batch job completes, examine the several output files to see the timings for your runs with executables created by the various compilers under the various levels of optimization. -
