Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Chapter 1
Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Chapter 1. Linux Filesystem Hierarchy 1.1. Foreward When migrating from another operating system such as Microsoft Windows to another; one thing that will profoundly affect the end user greatly will be the differences between the filesystems. What are filesystems? A filesystem is the methods and data structures that an operating system uses to keep track of files on a disk or partition; that is, the way the files are organized on the disk. The word is also used to refer to a partition or disk that is used to store the files or the type of the filesystem. Thus, one might say I have two filesystems meaning one has two partitions on which one stores files, or that one is using the extended filesystem, meaning the type of the filesystem. The difference between a disk or partition and the filesystem it contains is important. A few programs (including, reasonably enough, programs that create filesystems) operate directly on the raw sectors of a disk or partition; if there is an existing file system there it will be destroyed or seriously corrupted. Most programs operate on a filesystem, and therefore won't work on a partition that doesn't contain one (or that contains one of the wrong type). Before a partition or disk can be used as a filesystem, it needs to be initialized, and the bookkeeping data structures need to be written to the disk. This process is called making a filesystem. Most UNIX filesystem types have a similar general structure, although the exact details vary quite a bit. -

The Next 700 Semantics: a Research Challenge Shriram Krishnamurthi Brown University [email protected] Benjamin S
The Next 700 Semantics: A Research Challenge Shriram Krishnamurthi Brown University [email protected] Benjamin S. Lerner Northeastern University [email protected] Liam Elberty Unaffiliated Abstract Modern systems consist of large numbers of languages, frameworks, libraries, APIs, and more. Each has characteristic behavior and data. Capturing these in semantics is valuable not only for understanding them but also essential for formal treatment (such as proofs). Unfortunately, most of these systems are defined primarily through implementations, which means the semantics needs to be learned. We describe the problem of learning a semantics, provide a structuring process that is of potential value, and also outline our failed attempts at achieving this so far. 2012 ACM Subject Classification Software and its engineering → General programming languages; Software and its engineering → Language features; Software and its engineering → Semantics; Software and its engineering → Formal language definitions Keywords and phrases Programming languages, desugaring, semantics, testing Digital Object Identifier 10.4230/LIPIcs.SNAPL.2019.9 Funding This work was partially supported by the US National Science Foundation and Brown University while all authors were at Brown University.

Running the 64-bit native version requires Windows 8 or 8.1 64-bit or Windows 7 64-bit operating system. • Certain 3rd party software may alter the processor affinity settings, affecting multi-cpu systems running Alias.exe and its spawned processes. To check the affinity setting, right-click on the Alias.exe process inside the Windows Task Manager and select Set Affinity... ensure that all available CPUs are enabled. • Alias or its component programs may not launch successfully depending on your Windows security settings. If this occurs, you may either unblock the program via the Windows Firewall Security Alert dialog, or add it as an Exception in the Exceptions Tab in the Windows Firewall dialog box. For more information, please see the Microsoft Update. Similar configurations are necessary for any third party firewall software, Please Read • It may be possible to successfully use Alias for Windows with a non-qualified configuration, however, Support and Maintenance programs will be subject to the Autodesk Support services guidelines. • The configurations shown are subject to change, and additional qualified configurations may be added after qualification testing has been carried out. -
(Pdf) of from Push/Enter to Eval/Apply by Program Transformation
From Push/Enter to Eval/Apply by Program Transformation MaciejPir´og JeremyGibbons Department of Computer Science University of Oxford [email protected] [email protected] Push/enter and eval/apply are two calling conventions used in implementations of functional lan- guages. In this paper, we explore the following observation: when considering functions with mul- tiple arguments, the stack under the push/enter and eval/apply conventions behaves similarly to two particular implementations of the list datatype: the regular cons-list and a form of lists with lazy concatenation respectively. Along the lines of Danvy et al.’s functional correspondence between def- initional interpreters and abstract machines, we use this observation to transform an abstract machine that implements push/enter into an abstract machine that implements eval/apply. We show that our method is flexible enough to transform the push/enter Spineless Tagless G-machine (which is the semantic core of the GHC Haskell compiler) into its eval/apply variant. 1 Introduction There are two standard calling conventions used to efficiently compile curried multi-argument functions in higher-order languages: push/enter (PE) and eval/apply (EA). With the PE convention, the caller pushes the arguments on the stack, and jumps to the function body. It is the responsibility of the function to find its arguments, when they are needed, on the stack. With the EA convention, the caller first evaluates the function to a normal form, from which it can read the number and kinds of arguments the function expects, and then it calls the function body with the right arguments. -

If you create a derivative work, please include the version information below in your attribution. This book is available free-of-cost from the author’s Web site. This version was generated on 2007-04-26. ii Preface The book is the textbook for the programming languages course at Brown University, which is taken pri- marily by third and fourth year undergraduates and beginning graduate (both MS and PhD) students. It seems very accessible to smart second year students too, and indeed those are some of my most successful students. The book has been used at over a dozen other universities as a primary or secondary text. The book’s material is worth one undergraduate course worth of credit. This book is the fruit of a vision for teaching programming languages by integrating the “two cultures” that have evolved in its pedagogy. One culture is based on interpreters, while the other emphasizes a survey of languages. Each approach has significant advantages but also huge drawbacks. The interpreter method writes programs to learn concepts, and has its heart the fundamental belief that by teaching the computer to execute a concept we more thoroughly learn it ourselves. While this reasoning is internally consistent, it fails to recognize that understanding definitions does not imply we understand consequences of those definitions. For instance, the difference between strict and lazy evaluation, or between static and dynamic scope, is only a few lines of interpreter code, but the consequences of these choices is enormous. -
