  • 7. Functions in PHP – II
    7. Functions in PHP – II Scope of variables in Function Scope of variable is the part of PHP script where the variable can be accessed or used. PHP supports three different scopes for a variable. These scopes are 1. Local 2. Global 3. Static A variable declared within the function has local scope. That means this variable is only used within the function body. This variable is not used outside the function. To demonstrate the concept, let us take an example. // local variable scope function localscope() { $var = 5; //local scope echo '<br> The value of $var inside the function is: '. $var; } localscope(); // call the function // using $var outside the function will generate an error echo '<br> The value of $var inside the function is: '. $var; The output will be: The value of $var inside the function is: 5 ( ! ) Notice: Undefined variable: var in H:\wamp\www\PathshalaWAD\function\function localscope demo.php on line 12 Call Stack # Time Memory Function Location 1 0.0003 240416 {main}( ) ..\function localscope demo.php:0 The value of $var inside the function is: Page 1 of 7 If a variable is defined outside of the function, then the variable scope is global. By default, a global scope variable is only available to code that runs at global level. That means, it is not available inside a function. Following example demonstrate it. <?php //variable scope is global $globalscope = 20; // local variable scope function localscope() { echo '<br> The value of global scope variable is :'.$globalscope; } localscope(); // call the function // using $var outside the function will generate an error echo '<br> The value of $globalscope outside the function is: '.

Introduction to Fortran 90 Language Features 21.0 Introduction Fortran 90 is in many respects a backwards-compatible modernization of the long-used (and much abused) Fortran 77 language, but it is also, in other respects, a new language for parallel programming on present and future multiprocessor machines. These twin design goals of the language sometimes add confusion to the process of becoming fluent in Fortran 90 programming. In a certain trivial sense, Fortran 90 is strictly backwards-compatible with Fortran 77. That is, any Fortran 90 compiler is supposed to be able to compile any legacy Fortran 77 code without error. The reason for terming this compatibility trivial, however, is that you have to tell the compiler (usually via a source file name ending in “.f”or“.for”) that it is dealing with a Fortran 77 file. If you instead try to pass off Fortran 77 code as native Fortran 90 (e.g., by naming the source file something ending in “.f90”) it will not always work correctly! It is best, therefore, to approach Fortran 90 as a new computer language, albeit one with a lot in common with Fortran 77.

    Memory Tagging and how it improves C/C++ memory safety Kostya Serebryany, Evgenii Stepanov, Aleksey Shlyapnikov, Vlad Tsyrklevich, Dmitry Vyukov Google February 2018 Introduction 2 Memory Safety in C/C++ 2 AddressSanitizer 2 Memory Tagging 3 SPARC ADI 4 AArch64 HWASAN 4 Compiler And Run-time Support 5 Overhead 5 RAM 5 CPU 6 Code Size 8 Usage Modes 8 Testing 9 Always-on Bug Detection In Production 9 Sampling In Production 10 Security Hardening 11 Strengths 11 Weaknesses 12 Legacy Code 12 Kernel 12 Uninitialized Memory 13 Possible Improvements 13 Precision Of Buffer Overflow Detection 13 Probability Of Bug Detection 14 Conclusion 14 Introduction Memory safety in C and C++ remains largely unresolved. A technique usually called “memory tagging” may dramatically improve the situation if implemented in hardware with reasonable overhead. This paper describes two existing implementations of memory tagging: one is the full hardware implementation in SPARC; the other is a partially hardware-assisted compiler-based tool for AArch64. We describe the basic idea, evaluate the two implementations, and explain how they improve memory safety. This paper is intended to initiate a wider discussion of memory tagging and to motivate the CPU and OS vendors to add support for it in the near future. Memory Safety in C/C++ C and C++ are well known for their performance and flexibility, but perhaps even more for their extreme memory unsafety. This year we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Morris Worm, one of the first known exploitations of a memory safety bug, and the problem is still not solved.

  • Statically Detecting Likely Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
    Statically Detecting Likely Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities David Larochelle [email protected] University of Virginia, Department of Computer Science David Evans [email protected] University of Virginia, Department of Computer Science Abstract Buffer overflow attacks may be today’s single most important security threat. This paper presents a new approach to mitigating buffer overflow vulnerabilities by detecting likely vulnerabilities through an analysis of the program source code. Our approach exploits information provided in semantic comments and uses lightweight and efficient static analyses. This paper describes an implementation of our approach that extends the LCLint annotation-assisted static checking tool. Our tool is as fast as a compiler and nearly as easy to use. We present experience using our approach to detect buffer overflow vulnerabilities in two security-sensitive programs. 1. Introduction ed a prototype tool that does this by extending LCLint [Evans96]. Our work differs from other work on static detection of buffer overflows in three key ways: (1) we Buffer overflow attacks are an important and persistent exploit semantic comments added to source code to security problem. Buffer overflows account for enable local checking of interprocedural properties; (2) approximately half of all security vulnerabilities we focus on lightweight static checking techniques that [CWPBW00, WFBA00].

  • Scope in Fortran 90
    Scope in Fortran 90 The scope of objects (variables, named constants, subprograms) within a program is the portion of the program in which the object is visible (can be use and, if it is a variable, modified). It is important to understand the scope of objects not only so that we know where to define an object we wish to use, but also what portion of a program unit is effected when, for example, a variable is changed, and, what errors might occur when using identifiers declared in other program sections. Objects declared in a program unit (a main program section, module, or external subprogram) are visible throughout that program unit, including any internal subprograms it hosts. Such objects are said to be global. Objects are not visible between program units. This is illustrated in Figure 1. Figure 1: The figure shows three program units. Main program unit Main is a host to the internal function F1. The module program unit Mod is a host to internal function F2. The external subroutine Sub hosts internal function F3. Objects declared inside a program unit are global; they are visible anywhere in the program unit including in any internal subprograms that it hosts. Objects in one program unit are not visible in another program unit, for example variable X and function F3 are not visible to the module program unit Mod. Objects in the module Mod can be imported to the main program section via the USE statement, see later in this section. Data declared in an internal subprogram is only visible to that subprogram; i.e.

  • Chapter 5. Using Tcl/Tk
    The Almagest 5-1 Chapter 5. Using Tcl/Tk Authors: Edward A. Lee Other Contributors: Brian L. Evans Wei-Jen Huang Alan Kamas Kennard White 5.1 Introduction Tcl is an interpreted “tool command language” designed by John Ousterhout while at UC Berkeley. Tk is an associated X window toolkit. Both have been integrated into Ptolemy. Parts of the graphical user interface and all of the textual interpreter ptcl are designed using them. Several of the stars in the standard star library also use Tcl/Tk. This chapter explains how to use the most basic of these stars, TclScript, as well how to design such stars from scratch. It is possible to define very sophisticated, totally customized user interfaces using this mechanism. In this chapter, we assume the reader is familiar with the Tcl language. Documentation is provided along with the Ptolemy distribution in the $PTOLEMY/tcltk/itcl/man direc- tory in Unix man page format. HTML format documentation is available from the other.src tar file in $PTOLEMY/src/tcltk. Up-to-date documentation and software releases are available by on the SunScript web page at http://www.sunscript.com. There is also a newsgroup called comp.lang.tcl. This news group accumulates a list of frequently asked questions about Tcl which is available http://www.teraform.com/%7Elvirden/tcl-faq/. The principal use of Tcl/Tk in Ptolemy is to customize the user interface. Stars can be created that interact with the user in specialized ways, by creating customized displays or by soliciting graphical inputs. 5.2 Writing Tcl/Tk scripts for the TclScript star Several of the domains in Ptolemy have a star called TclScript.
