  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.

  3. Blue screen of death - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_screen_of_death

    Preview builds of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server (available from the Windows Insider program) feature a dark green background instead of a blue one. [26] [27] [24] Windows 3.1, 95, and 98 supports customizing the color of the screen [28] whereas the color is hard-coded in the Windows NT family. [28]

  4. Segmentation fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault

    This sample code creates a null pointer, and then tries to access its value (read the value). Doing so causes a segmentation fault at runtime on many operating systems. Dereferencing a null pointer and then assigning to it (writing a value to a non-existent target) also usually causes a segmentation fault:

  5. Initialization (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initialization_(programming)

    Initialization is distinct from (and preceded by) declaration, although the two can sometimes be conflated in practice. The complement of initialization is finalization, which is primarily used for objects, but not variables. Initialization is done either by statically embedding the value at compile time, or else by assignment at run time.

  6. Screen of death - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_of_death

    The Screen of Death in Windows 10, which includes a sad emoticon and a QR code for quick troubleshooting A Linux kernel panic, forced by an attempt to kill init The Mac OS X kernel panic alert. This screen was introduced in Mac OS X 10.2, while the kernel panic itself was around since the Mac OS X Public Beta.

  7. Placement syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placement_syntax

    The first is to ensure that any custom allocators rely upon the Standard C++ library's global, non-placement, operator new, and are thus nothing more than simple wrappers around the C++ library's memory management. The second is to create new and delete functions for individual classes, and customize memory management via class function members ...

  8. Double-checked locking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-checked_locking

    Thread A notices that the value is not initialized, so it obtains the lock and begins to initialize the value. Due to the semantics of some programming languages, the code generated by the compiler is allowed to update the shared variable to point to a partially constructed object before A has finished performing the initialization. For example ...

  9. Uninitialized variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninitialized_variable

    Initialized does not mean correct if the value is a default one. (However, default initialization to 0 is a right practice for pointers and arrays of pointers, since it makes them invalid before they are actually initialized to their correct value.) In C, variables with static storage duration that are not initialized explicitly are initialized ...
