Yes, that is a memory address, but no allocated to you. If you run this on valgrind:

int * ptr = (int *) 0x108; // 264 in bin

You get this

I was writing an algorithm in C/++ and when I was debugging using a print statement (very professional, I know), I saw an odd value:-0. Does this mean the same thing as a regular 0 or could this cause bugs? If so, how can I fix those bugs?
|
In both languages-0is the unary negation of theintconstant / literal0.
If yourintis 2's complement (most likely in C, and must be from C++20), then it's exactly the same as0, and no sane formatter would ever print-0for0.
If yourintis 1's complement or signed magnitude then-0is asigned negative zero. It will compare ... |

You used onemalloc, so you should use onefree.

When you do an assignment to a variable, you're setting thevalue, not therepresentation.
The hexadecimal number 0x04000000 is the same as the decimal number 67108864 so that is what gets assigned. The fact that the number is represented in hex doesn't change how the assignment works.

When I received packet withrecvat linux, is the kernel did de-fragmentation so I will get de-fragmentation data? Or should I take care of it on user-space?

When receiving UDP data via a socket of typeSOCK_DGRAM, you'll only receive the complete datagram (assuming your input buffer is large enough to receive it).
Any IP fragmentation is handled transparently from userspace.
If you're using raw sockets, then you need to handle defragmentation yourself.

I'm getting the below warning on a C program. It does run. However, how do I fix the warning?
```
warning: format specifies type 'char *' but the argument has type 'char (*)[100]' [-Wformat]
printf("%s\n", &buf);

The code looks like this:
```
FILE *fp = fopen(filename, "r");
int len = 0;
char buf[10... |
This line is wrong:
```
printf("%s\n", &buf);
```
As the warning says, you need to match%swith achar *parameter.bufis an array, so just using its name in this context will cause it to decay into a pointer to its first element - exactly what you want:
```
printf("%s\n", buf);

An expression generates a value, statements alter the status of the machine, aka, side effects. However, I keep reading that function return is a statement.

It changes the call stack and program counter. It puts the return value in a known place (depending on calling conventions)
Even if you don’t use the return value, the compiler still needs to store it somewhere as it may be called from different compiler units that are unknown.

I'm doing a write up about the concept of the call stack and I want to touch on the limitations of the call stack in different languages.
I know there are ways to see how many frames can be on the call stack such as:

You declaredestinationas an array of 11 chars, but then you usestrcpyto copy 12 chars fromsourceinto it. Every string needs to have a NUL terminator, which is part of the string, so it is important to count it when figuring out the size of an array needed to hold the string.

I can print to four decimal places withprintf("Value: %0.4f\n", value); however, is there a way to make the number of decimals a value inserted with%d?, for example, something like:

int decimalPlaces = 4;
printf("Value: %0.%df\n", x, decimalPlaces);

You can put a*in place of the field width or the precision, in which case anintis expected to fill in the value.

printf("Value: %0.*f\n", decimalPlaces, x);

I came across a quiz using C language relating to pointers, but I don't know if I got the answers right or wrong.
The following code is given and finding out the result.
By the way, the address for variablea, p, q, ris seen as500, 600, 700, 800.
```
int main(void)
{
int a = 10, *p = &a, **q = &p, ***r = &q;
pr... |
if p holds the address of a,then p=500,again q holds the address of p,so q=600,r holds address of q,so r=700,and *r=600..so final ans is 500,500,600,700,600.that means your assumption is absolutely right.

My question:
Is this:
```
if (...) {
} else if (...) {
}
```
Equal to this?
```
if (...) {
} else {
if (...) {

}
```
Indeed, I guess that in the two cases the result would be the same but is else..if a different statement in C ?
|
The C language has no feature calledelse if. That one is only obtained through coding style. Your example is 100% equivalent to this:
```
if (...) {
}
else
if (...) {
}
```
Where the secondifis a single statement belowelse, so we can write it without{}.

The bitwise or operatorors the bits in each position. The result ofa|b|c|dwill be1because you're bitwiseoring 0 and 1 in theleastsignificant position.

This will result in

Let's say I have aforloop and an array of ints. In myforloop, I sayif (array[i] == 2)then I want to skip all the rest of theforloop and go to the next instance. now I can't use thebreakkeyword as that will exit out of the entire loop.
What can I use to exit out of only one instance?

You have to use continue to go to the next iteration:
```
if (array[i] == 2) continue;
```

I would like to know which case is SIG_ERR among the return values of the signal function.
```
__sighandler_t oldHandler = signal( SIGSEGV, newSignalHandler );
if( oldHandler == SIG_ERR )
{
// In what case?
}
```

The man page for each system call is supposed to list all possible error conditions under the "ERRORS" heading, along with the corresponding values to whicherrnois set in each case.
Theman page forsignal(2)shows only:
EINVALsignumis invalid.
This occurs ifsignum(the first argument) isn't the number of a valid signa... |
I expected to find a function along the lines ofkobject_check_refcount, that returned the current refcount without altering it, inkobject.c, but as far as I can see there isn't one. Is there such a function existing in the kernel source somewhere? I can see it being useful for debugging purposes at points.

Yes, looks likekref_readis the right way to go.
```
static inline unsigned int kref_read(const struct kref *kref)
{
return refcount_read(&kref->refcount);
}

I want to build a counting table from 1 to 20 using inner for loop but instead of using multiplication, I want to use summation to build up my answer.
I wrote this code and for only number 1, I can see the correct answer.From number 2, I see that it adds up from the 10th multiplication.
I want to correct my logic er... |
```
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
int m, n, i;
for (n = 1; n <= 20; n++) {
// reset m before additions
m = 0;
for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
m += n;
printf("%d * %d = %d\n", n, i, m);
}
}
return (0);
}
```
