  2. Universally unique identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier

    A Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit label used to uniquely identify objects in computer systems. The term Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) is also used, mostly in Microsoft systems. [1] [2] When generated according to the standard methods, UUIDs are, for practical purposes, unique.

  3. Strongly typed identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strongly_typed_identifier

    The strongly typed identifier commonly wraps the data type used as the primary key in the database, such as a string, an integer or universally unique identifier (UUID). Web frameworks can often be configured to model bind properties on view models that are strongly typed identifiers.

  4. Unique identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_identifier

    A unique identifier (UID) is an identifier that is guaranteed to be unique among all identifiers used for those objects and for a specific purpose. [1] The concept was formalized early in the development of computer science and information systems. In general, it was associated with an atomic data type.

    In C and C++, keywords and standard library identifiers are mostly lowercase. In the C standard library , abbreviated names are the most common (e.g. isalnum for a function testing whether a character is alphanumeric), while the C++ standard library often uses an underscore as a word separator (e.g. out_of_range ).

    [8] In the Sixth Edition source code of the Unix program loader, the exec() function read the executable image from the file system. The first 8 bytes of the file was a header containing the sizes of the program (text) and initialized (global) data areas.

    32-bit compilers emit, respectively: _f _g@4 @h@4 In the stdcall and fastcall mangling schemes, the function is encoded as _name@X and @name@X respectively, where X is the number of bytes, in decimal, of the argument(s) in the parameter list (including those passed in registers, for fastcall).

  8. Identifier (computer languages) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identifier_(computer...

    In computer programming languages, an identifier is a lexical token (also called a symbol, but not to be confused with the symbol primitive data type) that names the language's entities. Some of the kinds of entities an identifier might denote include variables , data types , labels , subroutines , and modules .

    ^ ASN.1 has X.681 (Information Object System), X.682 (Constraints), and X.683 (Parameterization) that allow for the precise specification of open types where the types of values can be identified by integers, by OIDs, etc. OIDs are a standard format for globally unique identifiers, as well as a standard notation ("absolute reference") for ...
