IETF API Considerations Dave Thaler [email protected] OMA -- IETF MIF API Workshop 1 Concrete vs Abstract APIs • Like pseudocode vs actual code • Concrete API – Specific programming language – Exact method names specified – Exact data types/structure specified • Abstract API – Programming language agnostic – Exact method names may vary by concrete API – Exact data types/structure may vary OMA -- IETF MIF API Workshop 2 Abstract example (RFC 2743) 2.1.2: GSS_Release_cred call Input: • cred_handle CREDENTIAL HANDLE -- if GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL is specified, the call will complete successfully, but will have no effect; no credential elements will be released. Outputs: • major_status INTEGER, • minor_status INTEGER OMA -- IETF MIF API Workshop 3 Concrete example (RFC 2744) typedef gss_uint32 OM_uint32; OM_uint32 gss_release_cred ( OM_uint32 *minor_status, gss_cred_id_t *cred_handle) OMA -- IETF MIF API Workshop 4 What SDO Owns Concrete APIs? • Sometimes a bit fuzzy • JavaScript (ECMAscript): W3C • POSIX C: The Austin Group (ISO/IEC + IEEE + The Open Group), published as IEEE docs • Others: ??? OMA -- IETF MIF API Workshop 5 The IETF • Rarely specifies concrete APIs • Has sometimes normatively specified C APIs that never became part of the POSIX standard • Has sometimes informatively documented C APIs that are part of the POSIX standard • Case Study: RFC 3678 (multicast source filter API) – Reviewed in parallel by IETF and Austin Group – AG feedback: setsockopt/ioctl not type-safe, use new methods instead – Published informational RFC from IETF – Published normative POSIX spec from IEEE OMA -- IETF MIF API Workshop 6 Advice from an author of RFC 3678 • SDO that defines semantics should specify abstract API – Allows multiple languages to specify concrete APIs • Language-specific SDO should specify concrete API (syntax) • Coordination between them is needed OMA -- IETF MIF API Workshop 7 .

Introduction to Javascript
Introduction to JavaScript Lecture 6 CGS 3066 Fall 2016 October 6, 2016 JavaScript I Dynamic programming language. Program the behavior of web pages. I Client-side scripts to interact with the user. I Communicates asynchronously and alters document content. I Used with Node.js in server side scripting, game development, mobile applications, etc. I Has thousands of libraries that can be used to carry out various tasks. JavaScript is NOT Java I Names can be deceiving. I Java is a full-ﬂedged object-oriented programming language. I Java is popular for developing large-scale distributed enterprise applications and web applications. I JavaScript is a browser-based scripting language developed by Netscape and implemented in all major browsers. I JavaScript is executed by the browsers on the client side. JavaScript and other languages JavaScript borrows the elements from a variety of languages. I Object orientation from Java. I Syntax from C. I Semantics from Self and Scheme. Whats a script? I A program written for a special runtime environment. I Interpreted (as opposed to compiled). I Used to automate tasks. I Operates at very high levels of abstraction. Whats JavaScript? I Developed at Netscape to perform client side validation. I Adopted by Microsoft in IE 3.0 (1996). I Standardized in 1996. Current standard is ECMAScript 6 (2016). I Speciﬁcations for ECMAScript 2016 are out. I CommonJS used for development outside the browser. JavaScript uses I JavaScript has an insanely large API and library. I It is possible to do almost anything with JavaScript. I Write small scripts/apps for your webpage.

Synchronizing Threads with POSIX Semaphores
3/17/2016 POSIX Semaphores Synchronizing Threads with POSIX Semaphores 1. Why semaphores? 2. Posix semaphores are easy to use sem_init sem_wait sem_post sem_getvalue sem_destroy 3. Activities 1 2 Now it is time to take a look at some code that does something a little unexpected. The program badcnt.c creates two new threads, both of which increment a global variable called cnt exactly NITER, with NITER = 1,000,000. But the program produces unexpected results. Activity 1. Create a directory called posixsem in your class Unix directory. Download in this directory the code badcnt.c and compile it using gcc badcnt.c -o badcnt -lpthread Run the executable badcnt and observe the ouput. Try it on both tanner and felix. Quite unexpected! Since cnt starts at 0, and both threads increment it NITER times, we should see cnt equal to 2*NITER at the end of the program. What happens? Threads can greatly simplify writing elegant and efficient programs. However, there are problems when multiple threads share a common address space, like the variable cnt in our earlier example. To understand what might happen, let us analyze this simple piece of code: THREAD 1 THREAD 2 a = data; b = data; a++; b--; data = a; data = b; Now if this code is executed serially (for instance, THREAD 1 first and then THREAD 2), there are no problems. However threads execute in an arbitrary order, so consider the following situation: Thread 1 Thread 2 data a = data; --- 0 a = a+1; --- 0 --- b = data; // 0 0 --- b = b + 1; 0 data = a; // 1 --- 1 --- data = b; // 1 1 So data could end up +1, 0, -1, and there is NO WAY to know which value! It is completely non- deterministic! http://www.csc.villanova.edu/~mdamian/threads/posixsem.html 1/4 3/17/2016 POSIX Semaphores The solution to this is to provide functions that will block a thread if another thread is accessing data that it is using.

Proposal to Refocus TC39-TG1 on the Maintenance of the Ecmascript, 3 Edition Specification
Proposal to Refocus TC39-TG1 On the Maintenance of the ECMAScript, 3rd Edition Specification Submitted by: Yahoo! Inc. Microsoft Corporation Douglas Crockford Pratap Lakshman & Allen Wirfs-Brock Preface We believe that the specification currently under development by TC39-TG1 as ECMAScript 4 is such a radical departure from the current standard that it is essentially a new language. It is as different from ECMAScript 3rd Edition as C++ is from C. Such a drastic change is not appropriate for a revision of a widely used standardized language and cannot be justified in light of the current broad adoption of ECMAScript 3rd Edition for AJAX style web applications. We do not believe that consensus can be reach within TC39-TG1 based upon its current language design work. However, we do believe that an alternative way forward can be found and submit this proposal as a possible path to resolution. Proposal We propose that the work of TC39-TG1 be reconstituted as two (or possibly three) new TC39 work items as follows: Work item 1 – On going maintenance of ECMAScript, 3rd Edition. In light on the broad adoption of ECMAScript, 3rd Edition for web browser based applications it is clear that this language will remain an important part of the world-wide-web infrastructure for the foreseeable future. However, since the publication of the ECMAScript, 3rd Edition specification in 1999 there has been feature drift between implementations and cross-implementation compatibility issues arising from deficiencies and ambiguities in the specification. The purpose of this work item is to create a maintenance revision of the specification (a 4th Edition) that focuses on these goals: Improve implementation conformance by rewriting the specification to improve its rigor and clarity, and by correcting known points of ambiguity or under specification.

JTC1 and SC22 - Terminology
JTC1 AD Hoc Terminology, August 2005 1 JTC1 and SC22 - Terminology Background Following my offer to collect together the definitions from SC22 standards, SC22 accepted my offer and appointed me as its terminology representative (I was later also asked to represent UK and BSI) on the JTC1 ad hoc group on terminology. These notes summarise the results of collecting the SC22 definitions, and my impressions of the JTC1 ad hoc group. Roger Scowen August 2005 A collection of definitions from SC22 standards SC22 asked me to prepare a collected terminology for SC22 containing the definitions from standards for which SC22 is responsible, and asked the project editors to send me the definitions in text form. Many, but not all, project editors did so. However there are sufficient for SC22 to judge whether to complete the list or abandon it as an interesting but unprofitable exercise. Adding definitions to the database The project editor of a standard typically sends the definitions from the standard as a Word file, but it may be plain text or in Latex or nroff format. These definitions are transformed into a uniform format by a series of global ‘find & replace’ operations to produce a Word file where each definition is represented as a row of a table with three columns: the term, its definition, and any notes and/or examples. It is often easier to check this has been accomplished by copying and pasting successive attempts into Excel than examining the Word file itself. Sometimes there are special cases such as exotic characters (for example Greek or mathematical characters), special fonts, illustrations, diagrams, or tables.
