... Current "lock-free" implementations follow the same pattern most of the time: *read some state and make a copy of it** *modify copy** do an interlocked operation retry if it fails (*optional: depends on the data structure/algorithm) The last bit is eerily similar to a spinlock. In fact, it i...

...resource hungry program). Static linking may allow slightly faster startup times, but this depends to some degree on both the size and complexity of your program and on the details of the OS's loading strategy.

...u will see for the used tag in the second JSP file : org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspRuntimeLibrary.include(request, response, "reusable.html", out, false); So now you know that the include directive inserts the source of reuse.html at translation time but the action tag inserts the response of reus...

...isited row by row in order -- meaning a disk page may get visited multiple times. Re: the question in your comment... Yep, that's exactly it. An index scan will go through rows one by one, opening disk pages again and again, as many times as necessary (some will of course stay in memory, but you...

... It's sometimes nice since it gives you a new scope, where you can more "cleanly" declare new (automatic) variables. In C++ this is maybe not so important since you can introduce new variables anywhere, but perhaps the habit is from C...

...ace is defining an enum of user types. This is very likely to expand over time and would be better suited by another pattern. But the HTTPRequest_1_1 is a decent use-case, since the enum is defined by RFC2616 and will not change for the lifetime of the class. In general, I don't see the problem...
