C coding tip: Self-manage data buffer memory

General 8068 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

The C programming language defines two standard memory management functions: malloc() and free(). C programmers frequently use those functions to allocate buffers at run time to pass data between functions. In many situations, however, you cannot predetermine the actual sizes required for the buffers, which may cause several fundamental problems for constructing complex C programs. This article advocates a self-managing, abstract data buffer. It outlines a pseudo-C implementation of the abstract buffer and details the advantages of adopting this mechanism.

NewsForge asked longtime Unix and BSD guru Kirk McKusick, who has intimate knowledge of the original AT&T versus BSD legal battles over Unix source code in the early 1990s, to comment on SCO's recent claims of copyright infringement in Linux. McKusick says he believes Torvalds when he says he did not copy the files in question, but notes that may be not the real issue here.

Grid watch: Open standards architecture at the GGF

General 8068 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

In the first installment of the "Grid Watch" column, I gave you a brief overview of the Global Grid Forum (GGF). Now I'll turn my attention to grid architecture, a topic I find extremely hard to talk about. It's not that I think architecture is boring or unnecessary. Quite the contrary. It's just a huge, rambling, complex topic, and my job here is to pick out what's important to the developer community without getting too lost in the weeds.
