Change of type alignment and the consequences
By Andrey Karpov (7 posts) on November 5, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Comments (0)
When porting software one of the task a developer faces is to change types' sizes and rules of their alignments. Not so long ago we provided support of the diagnosing rule allowing you to detect data structures which use memory on 64-bit inefficiently in Viva64 analyzer. But there is still some research work to be [...]

Memory management challenges in parallel applications
By Roman Lygin (Intel) (3 posts) on October 28, 2009 at 6:18 am
Comments (4)
Let me share some recent practical experience with memory management issues when developing a multi-threaded application. This can probably be a rather common case (as recent post by Roman Dementiev and its follow up discussion demonstrates), and I’d be happy if my experience were helpful for others. Working on CAD Exchanger I am designing one of [...]

Search of explicit type conversion errors in 64-bit programs
By Andrey Karpov (7 posts) on October 22, 2009 at 8:21 am

On forums I'm constantly asked questions concerning search of incorrect explicit type conversion when porting code on a 64-bit platform. I decided to write this small note so that I could refer people to it and avoid writing the answer every time.

“Library design is language design.” Bell Labs proverb as told by Bjarne Stroustrup Bjarne Stroustrup, creator and champion of the C++ language, is among other things a collector of aphorisms, and this is one of his favorites. It’s a deep idea, but I want to touch on just one aspect of this surprising equivalence, and tie it [...]

Ineffectiveness of last() in the real world
By Andrey Karpov (7 posts) on October 19, 2009 at 8:19 am
Comments (0)
While studying at the institute and learning different data processing algorithms, I already knew that the necessity of using such a function as last() for one-way list can indicate an unfortunate choice of the data structure and lead to ineffective algorithm. Although I knew it long ago, I haven’t faced this in practice until recently.
