Most vexing parse. The most vexing parse is a counterintuitive form of syntactic ambiguity resolution in the C++ programming language. In certain situations, the C++ grammar cannot distinguish between the creation of an object parameter and specification of a function's type. In those situations, the compiler is required to interpret the line ...
In computing, row-major order and column-major order are methods for storing multidimensional arrays in linear storage such as random access memory . The difference between the orders lies in which elements of an array are contiguous in memory. In row-major order, the consecutive elements of a row reside next to each other, whereas the same ...
Flexible array member. C struct data types may end with a flexible array member [1] with no specified size: struct vectord { short len; // there must be at least one other data member double arr[]; // the flexible array member must be last // The compiler may reserve extra padding space here, like it can between struct members }; Typically ...
Priority queue. In computer science, a priority queue is an abstract data type similar to a regular queue or stack abstract data type. Each element in a priority queue has an associated priority. In a priority queue, elements with high priority are served before elements with low priority. In some implementations, if two elements have the same ...
Intrinsic function. In computer software, in compiler theory, an intrinsic function, also called built-in function or builtin function, is a function ( subroutine) available for use in a given programming language whose implementation is handled specially by the compiler. Typically, it may substitute a sequence of automatically generated ...
Resource acquisition is initialization ( RAII) [ 1] is a programming idiom [ 2] used in several object-oriented, statically typed programming languages to describe a particular language behavior. In RAII, holding a resource is a class invariant, and is tied to object lifetime. Resource allocation (or acquisition) is done during object creation ...
v. t. e. C dynamic memory allocation refers to performing manual memory management for dynamic memory allocation in the C programming language via a group of functions in the C standard library, namely malloc, realloc, calloc, aligned_alloc and free. [ 1][ 2][ 3] The C++ programming language includes these functions; however, the operators new ...
Expression templates are a C++ template metaprogramming technique that builds structures representing a computation at compile time, where expressions are evaluated only as needed to produce efficient code for the entire computation. [1] Expression templates thus allow programmers to bypass the normal order of evaluation of the C++ language and ...
