  2. Most vexing parse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 as a function type ...

  3. Stack buffer overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_buffer_overflow

    In an actual stack buffer overflow exploit the string of "A"'s would instead be shellcode suitable to the platform and desired function. If this program had special privileges (e.g. the SUID bit set to run as the superuser ), then the attacker could use this vulnerability to gain superuser privileges on the affected machine.

  4. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    A function definition starts with the name of the type of value that it returns or void to indicate that it does not return a value. This is followed by the function name, formal arguments in parentheses, and body lines in braces. In C++, a function declared in a class (as non-static) is called a member function or method.

  5. Syntax error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax_error

    Type errors (such as an attempt to apply the ++ increment operator to a Boolean variable in Java) and undeclared variable errors are sometimes considered to be syntax errors when they are detected at compile-time.

  6. Exception handling (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_handling...

    Notably, C++ does not provide this construct, recommending instead the Resource Acquisition Is Initialization (RAII) technique which frees resources using destructors. [12] According to a 2008 paper by Westley Weimer and George Necula, the syntax of the try...finally blocks in Java is a contributing factor to software defects. When a method ...

  7. Exception handling syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_handling_syntax

    C does not provide direct support to exception handling: it is the programmer's responsibility to prevent errors in the first place and test return values from the functions. In any case, a possible way to implement exception handling in standard C is to use setjmp/longjmp functions:

  8. Constructor (object-oriented programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructor_(object...

    A new instance is created by calling the class as if it were a function, which calls the __new__ and __init__ methods. If a constructor method is not defined in the class, the next one found in the class's Method Resolution Order will be called. [14] In the typical case, only the __init__ method need be defined. (The most common exception is ...

  9. Stack trace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_trace

    In computing, a stack trace (also called stack backtrace [1] or stack traceback [2]) is a report of the active stack frames at a certain point in time during the execution of a program. When a program is run, memory is often dynamically allocated in two places: the stack and the heap. Memory is continuously allocated on a stack but not on a ...
