A crash course in kernel mode in one stack overflow answer Good questions! (Interview questions?) What happens (in detail) when a thread makes a system call by raising interrupt 80? The int $80 operation is vaguely like a function call. The CPU “takes a trap” and restarts at a known address in kernel mode, typically … Read more
So,after vigorously searching on net for the difference or similarity between these two terms,I have come up on a final answer.First of all I would write down the similarities: They both (segmented paging and paged segmentation) are a type of paging/segmentation combined systems (Paging and Segmentation can be combined by dividing each segment into pages). … Read more
The reason that you’re not finding a name for this is that it’s not an operating system — it’s the absence of an operating system. Often this is called something like “bare-metal” programming. The general idea of bare-metal programming is that there is a small bit of general-purpose code — a “bootloader” — that sets … Read more
I use this code to keep my workstation from locking. It’s currently only set to move the mouse once every minute, you could easily adjust it though. It’s a hack, not an elegant solution. import java.awt.*; import java.util.*; public class Hal{ public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{ Robot hal = new Robot(); Random random … Read more
It’s much easier (and faster) to get this information by only parsing the output of ver: @echo off setlocal for /f “tokens=4-5 delims=. ” %%i in (‘ver’) do set VERSION=%%i.%%j if “%version%” == “10.0” echo Windows 10 if “%version%” == “6.3” echo Windows 8.1 if “%version%” == “6.2” echo Windows 8. if “%version%” == “6.1” … Read more
I worked for several years at a company that provided both CE and Linux for all of their hardware, so I’m fairly familiar with both sides of this equation. Tools: Windows CE tools certainly are better than those provided by Linux, though the linux tools are certainly getting better. Performance: Windows CE is real-time. Linux … Read more
distutils.dir_util.copy_tree does what you want. Copy an entire directory tree src to a new location dst. Both src and dst must be directory names. If src is not a directory, raise DistutilsFileError. If dst does not exist, it is created with mkpath(). The end result of the copy is that every file in src is … Read more
OP is asking about Windows: “There are no other software projects like this,” Lucovsky said, “but the one thing that’s remained constant [over the years] is how long it takes to build [Windows]. No matter which generation of the product, it takes 12 hours to compile and link the system.” Even with the increase in … Read more
Assembly language is a convenience mechanism over the machine language. With assembly language you use mnemonic sequences instead of numeric operation codes and can use symbolic labels instead of manually calculating offsets. It also protects you from really dumb errors – like typing a malformed processor instruction. Otherwise the assembly language is the equivalent of … Read more
