To get and set the stack size of thread attribute in C, we use the following thread attributes:pthread_attr_getstacksize()Use for get threads stack size. The stacksize attribute gives the minimum stack size allocated to threads stack. In case of a successful run, then it gives 0 otherwise gives any value.It takes two arguments −pthread_attr_getstacksize(pthread_attr_t *attr, size_t *stacksize)First one for pthread attribute.Second one for giving the size of the thread attribute.pthread_attr_setstacksize()Used for set new threads stack size. The stacksize attribute gives the minimum stack size allocated to threads stack. In case of a successful run, then it gives 0 otherwise it gives ... Read More

In C/C++ we can use octal literals by typing a zero before the actual number. For example, if an octal number is 25, then we have to write 025.Example Code#include int main() {    int a = 025;    int b = 063;    printf("Decimal of 25(Octal) is %d", a);    printf("Decimal of 63(Octal) is %d", b); }OutputDecimal of 25(Octal) is 21 Decimal of 63(Octal) is 51

In this section, you will learn how to use SQLite in C/C++ programs.InstallationBefore you start using SQLite in our C/C++ programs, you need to make sure that you have SQLite library set up on the machine. You can check SQLite Installation chapter to understand the installation process.C/C++ Interface APIsFollowing are important C/C++ SQLite interface routines, which can suffice your requirement to work with SQLite database from your C/C++ program. If you are looking for a more sophisticated application, then you can look into SQLite official documentation.Serial NoAPI & Description1sqlite3_open(const char *filename, sqlite3 **ppDb)This routine opens a connection to an SQLite ...

In this section we will see how to execute zombie process and orphan process in a single program in C/C++. Before going to the main discussion, let us see what are the zombie process and orphan process.Zombie ProcessesA zombie process is a process whose execution is completed but it still has an entry in the process table. Zombie processes usually occur for child processes, as the parent process still needs to read its child’s exit status. Once this is done using the wait system call, the zombie process is eliminated from the process table. This is known as reaping the ... Read More

An lvalue (locator value) represents an object that occupies some identifiable location in memory (i.e. has an address).rvalues are defined by exclusion. Every expression is either an lvalue or an rvalue, so, an rvalue is an expression that does not represent an object occupying some identifiable location in memory.For example, An assignment expects an lvalue as its left operand, so the following is valid:int i = 10; But this is not: int i; 10 = i;This is because i has an address in memory and is a lvalue. While 10 doesn't have an identifiable memory location and hence is an ... Read More

In this section we will see what is the fork system call in C. This fork system call is used to create a new process. This newly created process is known as child process. The current process which is creating another child process is called the parent process.A child process uses the same program counter, CPU register, same files that are used by the parent process.The fork() does not take any parameter, it returns integer values. It may return three types of integer values.Negative Number: It returns negative number when child process creation is failedZero Value: It returns Zero for ... Read More

What is an Assertions in C/C++? An assertion is a statement used to test assumptions made by the program. When an assertion fails, the program displays an error and stops. This is mainly used for debugging. In C and C++, assertions are handled using the assert() macro defined in the (C) or (C++) header file. Following is the declaration for assert() Macro. #include // in C // or #include in C++ assert(expression); The parameter of this assert() is expression: This can be a variable or any C/C++ expression. If ... Read More

Multithreading is a specialized form of multitasking and a multitasking is the feature that allows your computer to run two or more programs concurrently. In general, there are two types of multitasking: process-based and thread-based.Process-based multitasking handles the concurrent execution of programs. Thread-based multitasking deals with the concurrent execution of pieces of the same program.A multithreaded program contains two or more parts that can run concurrently. Each part of such a program is called a thread, and each thread defines a separate path of execution.C does not contain any built-in support for multithreaded applications. Instead, it relies entirely upon the ... Read More

In C/C++, we use the header files for accessing functions such as int, char, string, etc. The printf() function of C is also a built-in function that is declared in the "stdio.h" header file and it is used to print any kind of data on the console. C to Print "Hello World" without Header Files The Hello World is the given string that is used in the printf() to get the output. Make sure you don't have any headers to print the result. So, use an argument like (const char *text, ...) that solves the problem. Syntax Below is the ... Read More
