The users of the version control system can branch any branch. Branches are also known as trees, streams or codelines. The originating branch is sometimes called the parent branch, the upstream branch (or simply upstream, especially if the branches are maintained by different organizations or individuals), or the backing stream.
Cherry-picking: move only some revisions from a branch to another one (instead of merging the branches) Bisect : binary search of source history for a change that introduced or fixed a regression Incoming/outgoing : query the differences between the local repository and a remote one (the patches that would be fetched/sent on a pull/push)
Unreachable code that a programmer decided not to delete because it is mingled with reachable code; Potentially reachable code that current use cases never need; Dormant code that is kept intentionally in case it is needed later; Code used only for debugging. Legacy code is that which was once useful but is no longer used or required.
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.
A branch is created, the code in the files is independently edited, and the updated branch is later incorporated into a single, unified trunk. A set of files is branched, a problem that existed before the branching is fixed in one branch, and the fix is then merged into the other branch.
Besides eliminating branches, less code is needed in total, provided the architecture provides predicated instructions. While this does not guarantee faster execution in general, it will if the do_something and do_something_else blocks of code are short enough.
Visual Studio Code was first announced on April 29, 2015, by Microsoft at the 2015 Build conference. A preview build was released shortly thereafter. [13]On November 18, 2015, the project "Visual Studio Code — Open Source" (also known as "Code — OSS"), on which Visual Studio Code is based, was released under the open-source MIT License and made available on GitHub.
Dead code is normally considered dead unconditionally. Therefore, it is reasonable attempting to remove dead code through dead-code elimination at compile time. However, in practice it is also common for code sections to represent dead or unreachable code only under certain conditions, which may not be known at the time of compilation or assembly.
