What does “cdecl” stand for?

匆匆过客 提交于 2021-02-05 20:17:39
问题 Yes, I know that "cdecl" is the name of a prominent calling convention, so please don't explain calling conventions to me. What I'm asking is what the abbreviation (?) "cdecl" actually stands for. I think it's a poor naming choice, because at first sight it reminds one of "C declarator" (a rather unique syntactic aspect of C). In fact, there is a program called cdecl whose sole purpose is to decipher C declarators. But the C declarator syntax has absolutely nothing to do with calling

What is the definition of an absolute URL (fully qualified?)

我的梦境 提交于 2019-12-28 04:02:23
问题 There are (at least) three ways to link to a resource: href="foo/bar.html" href="/foo/bar.html" href="http://example.com/foo/bar.html" The first is a "relative url", no problem. But I've seen (2) and (3) both referred to as an "absolute url". Which is correctly termed an "absolute url", and what is the proper name of the other? (Bonus points for references to relevant standards or other official documentation.) 回答1: RFC 3986 defines Uniform Resource Identifiers. A relative reference that

SQL Nomenclature: “Query” or “Command” for INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE?

六眼飞鱼酱① 提交于 2019-12-23 07:10:53
问题 Which is more proper to call INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE statements? Command or query? I would think "command," since "query" implies that you are asking a question and expecting to get your question answered (and more information than just "yes, this operation was performed successfully, and, optionally, here's your insert ID"). Just a question from a mid-level web application developer who was also an communications major and is one who enjoys specificity. :) 回答1: The generic term for a INSERT ,

What is this functional “pattern” called?

问题 I was fooling around with some functional programming when I came across the need for this function, however I don't know what this sort of thing is called in standard nomenclature. Anyone recognizes it? function WhatAmIDoing(args...) return function() return args end end Edit: generalized the function, it takes a variable amount of arguments ( or perhaps an implicit list) and returns a function that when invoked returns all the args, something like a curry or pickle, but it doesn't seem to

What is the relation between GTK, GTK+ and GTK2?

拈花ヽ惹草 提交于 2019-12-20 11:03:06
问题 I'm confused by the GTK terminology. According to Wikipedia, there seem to be bindings to GTK+ that are called GTK (GtkAda) and GTK2 (gtk2hs, Gtk2-Perl). Could someone clear this up for me? 回答1: GTK/GTK+ and GTK2 are different versions of the same API. GTK is an old, deprecated version, GTK2 is the previous one, GTK+ 3/GTK3 is the current version. GTK+ is the correct name of the old API, but most people just call it GTK. The C++ bindings for GTK+ are part of the project GTKmm. 回答2: The first

问题 Closed . This question is opinion-based. It is not currently accepting answers. Want to improve this question? Update the question so it can be answered with facts and citations by editing this post. Closed 5 years ago . I have a long running method in Node.js that keeps listening for command line output until the user closes the command or an error halts. Long story short, this method had, among others, three callbacks: on_receive : Returns any new output from the command line to the
