  2. localhost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost

    In computer networking, localhost is a hostname that refers to the current computer used to access it. The name localhost is reserved for loopback purposes. [1] It is used to access the network services that are running on the host via the loopback network interface.

  3. Link-local address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address

    Link-local addresses may be assigned manually by an administrator or by automatic operating system procedures. In Internet Protocol (IP) networks, they are assigned most often using stateless address autoconfiguration, a process that often uses a stochastic process to select the value of link-local addresses, assigning a pseudo-random address that is different for each session.

  4. Platform Invocation Services - Wikipedia

    The resulting C# wrapper has the similar interface of the C++ counterpart with the parameter type converted to the .NET code. This tool recognizes template classes which is not exported from the C++ DLL and instantiates the template class and export it in a supplement DLL and the corresponding C++ interface can be used in .NET.

  5. Component Object Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_Object_Model

    A custom interface, anything derived from IUnknown, provides early bound access via a pointer to a virtual method table that contains a list of pointers to the functions that implement the functions declared in the interface, in the order they are declared. An in-process invocation overhead is, therefore, comparable to a C++ virtual method call.

  6. Portals network programming application programming interface

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portals_network...

    In 1999, an operational programming interface was given to Portals so that it could be implemented for intelligent or programmable network interfaces outside of a lightweight kernel environment. [2] This standard was designed for systems where the work required to prepare, transmit, and deliver messages is longer than the round-trip to the ...

  7. Interface-based programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interface-based_programming

    The use of interfaces to allow disparate teams to collaborate raises the question of how interface changes happen in interface-based programming. The problem is that if an interface is changed, e.g. by adding a new method, old code written to implement the interface will no longer compile – and in the case of dynamically loaded or linked plugins, will either fail to load or link, or crash at ...

  8. Extensible Application Markup Language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Application...

    In WPF, XAML describes visual user interfaces. WPF allows for the definition of both 2D and 3D objects, rotations, animations, and a variety of other effects and features. A XAML file can be compiled into a Binary Application Markup Language (BAML) file, [5] [6] which may be inserted as a resource into a .NET Framework assembly. At run-time ...

  9. Loopback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loopback

    A simple serial interface loopback test, called paperclip test, is sometimes used to identify serial ports of a computer and verify operation. It utilizes a terminal emulator application to send characters, with flow control set to off, to the serial port and receive the same back.
