    For the most general attack, the attacker must be scheduled for execution after each operation by the victim, also known as "single-stepping" the victim. In the case of BSD 4.3 mail utility and mktemp() , [ 2 ] the attacker can simply keep launching mail utility in one process, and keep guessing the temporary file names and keep making symlinks ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unreachable_code

    Unreachable code is sometimes also called dead code, [2] [3] although dead code may also refer to code that is executed but has no effect on the output of a program. [4] Unreachable code is generally considered undesirable for several reasons: It uses memory unnecessarily; It can cause unnecessary use of the CPU's instruction cache

  5. COMEFROM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COMEFROM

    A simple example of a "COMEFROM x" statement is a label x (which does not need to be physically located anywhere near its corresponding COMEFROM) that acts as a "trap door". When code execution reaches the label, control gets passed to the statement following the COMEFROM. This may also be conditional, passing control only if a condition is ...

  6. Control flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_flow

    Python supports conditional execution of code depending on whether a loop was exited early (with a break statement) or not by using an else-clause with the loop. For example, For example, for n in set_of_numbers : if isprime ( n ): print ( "Set contains a prime number" ) break else : print ( "Set did not contain any prime numbers" )

    In computer science, compile time (or compile-time) describes the time window during which a language's statements are converted into binary instructions for the processor to execute. [1] The term is used as an adjective to describe concepts related to the context of program compilation, as opposed to concepts related to the context of program ...

    This process took a total of 0.02 seconds of CPU time (User + System). The reported System time is 0.00 seconds, indicating that the amount of System time used was less than the printed resolution of 0.01 seconds. Elapsed real time was 0.08 seconds. The following is the source code of the application nextPrimeNumber which was used in the above ...

  9. Execution (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Execution_(computing)

    Execution in computer and software engineering is the process by which a computer or virtual machine interprets and acts on the instructions of a computer program. Each instruction of a program is a description of a particular action which must be carried out, in order for a specific problem to be solved.
