Hi!

What is a bus master device?

-------------------------------------------------------------

what is the difference between real, protected and virtual v86 mode, and
where and why are these respective modes used?

-------------------------------------------------------------

What is happening here ? :

static int foo P((void));

 /* code */

static int foo()
{
/* code
*/
}

what is the meaning of the P((void)). Why doesn't he just do static int
foo(); there ?

-------------------------------------------------------------

I)
What is an AVL tree? Any special advantages?

-------------------------------------------------------------

II)
WHat is a reentrant function?

-------------------------------------------------------------

III)
I have seen in many programmes the following code :

foo(int *iptr)
{
        int     j;

        j = ptr;
}

ok, forget the cast for now, this is slightly tricky if sizeof(int) !=
sizeof(*) on some architectures.

fine. but why doesn't the guy just say int *iptr2 = iptr1 in the above
code.

Is it a performance eenhancement to equate it to int rahter then a pointr
in th e fucnntion ?

Mind you, he uses it as a pointer(i.e. j) in the code after the
assignment.



Thanks for any replies . :-)
