    In Windows the delete key maps to VK_DELETE (0x2E). [9] EGA/VGA fonts, as fonts used by Win32 console, usually have the "house" symbol ⌂ at 127 (0x7F) code point, see Code page 437 for details. However, its legacy can be seen in parts of the Windows operating system: as an example, Control+← Backspace in Microsoft Notepad used to insert the ...

  4. Branch (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_(computer_science)

    Historically, branch prediction took statistics, and used the result to optimize code. A programmer would compile a test version of a program, and run it with test data. The test code counted how the branches were actually taken. The statistics from the test code were then used by the compiler to optimize the branches of released code.

    Bounds-checking elimination allows the compiler to safely remove bounds checking in many situations where it can determine that the index must fall within valid bounds; for example, if it is a simple loop variable. Branch-offset optimization (machine dependent) Choose the shortest branch displacement that reaches the target. Code-block reordering

  7. NOP (code) - Wikipedia

    Many computer protocols, such as telnet, include a NOP command that a client can issue to request a response from the server without requesting any other actions. Such a command can be used to ensure the connection is still alive or that the server is responsive. A NOOP command is part of the following protocols (this is a partial list): telnet ...

  9. Self-modifying code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-modifying_code

    Self-modifying code can be rewritten as code that tests a flag and branches to alternative sequences based on the outcome of the test, but self-modifying code typically runs faster. Self-modifying code conflicts with authentication of the code and may require exceptions to policies requiring that all code running on a system be signed.
