How Old School C Programmers Process Arguments
Here’s a bit of code from Kernighan’s and Ritchie’s seminal text, The C Programming Language . I’m not sure I’d actually recommend coding this way (as written in the book, the entire program has only one comment), but it’s so darn clever and concise, I can’t help but post it. This snippet is part of a larger program…

When the Compiler Bites
So far this year I’ve been bitten three times by compiler edge cases in GCC and Clang, each time catching me totally by surprise. Two were caused by historical artifacts, where an ambiguous specification lead to diverging implementations. The third was a compiler optimization being far more clever than I expected…

The futex (short for "Fast userspace mutex") mechanism was proposed by Linux contributors from IBM in 2002 [1] ; it was integrated into the kernel in late 2003. The main idea is to enable a more efficient way for userspace code to synchronize multiple threads, with minimal kernel involvement.
