In this article the function overloading in object-oriented programming is elaborated and how they are implemented in C++. The language supports a variety of programming styles. Here we are describing the polymorphism and its types in…

Memory leaks remain prevalent in real-world C/C++ software. Static analyzers such as CodeQL provide scalable program analysis but frequently miss such bugs because they cannot recognize project-specific custom memory-management functions…

Dynamic memory issues are hard to locate and may cost much of a development project's efforts and was repeatedly reported similarly afterwards independently by different persons. Verification as one formal method may proof a given program's…

MapReduce is a technique used to vastly improve distributed processing of data and can massively speed up computation. Hadoop and its MapReduce relies on JVM and Java which is expensive on memory. High Performance Computing based MapReduce…

High Performance Computing~(HPC) software stacks have become complex, with the dependencies of some applications numbering in the hundreds. Packaging, distributing, and administering software stacks of that scale is a complex undertaking…

With no intent of starting a holy war, this paper lists several annoying C++ birthmarks that the author has come across developing GUI class libraries. C++'s view of classes, instances and hierarchies appears tantalizingly close to GUI…

GitHub Copilot is an artificially intelligent programming assistant used by many developers. While a few studies have evaluated the security risks of using Copilot, there has not been any study to show if it aids developers in producing…

Over the last three decades, innovations in the memory subsystem were primarily targeted at overcoming the data movement bottleneck. In this paper, we focus on a specific market trend in memory technology: 3D-stacked memory and caches. We…

Databases need to allocate and free blocks of storage on disk. Freed blocks introduce holes where no data is stored. Allocation systems attempt to reuse such deallocated regions in order to minimize the footprint on disk. If previously…

We study 10 C/C++ projects that have been using a static analysis security testing tool. We analyze the historical scan reports generated by the tool and study how frequently memory-related alerts appeared. We also studied the subsequent…

Modern architectures require applications to make effective use of caches to achieve high performance and hide memory latency. This in turn requires careful consideration of placement of data in memory to exploit spatial locality, leverage…

Software engineering education and training have obstacles caused by a lack of basic knowledge about a process of program execution. The article is devoted to the development of special tools that help to visualize the process. We analyze…

When implementing functionality which requires sparse matrices, there are numerous storage formats to choose from, each with advantages and disadvantages. To achieve good performance, several formats may need to be used in one program,…

Object-oriented programming languages such as Java and Objective C have become popular for implementing agent-based and other object-based simulations since objects in those languages can {\em reflect} (i.e. make runtime queries of an…

Developers relax restrictions on a type to reuse methods with other types. While type casts are prevalent, in weakly typed languages such as C++, they are also extremely permissive. Assignments where a source expression is cast into a new…

Almost all modern imperative programming languages include operations for dynamically manipulating the heap, for example by allocating and deallocating objects, and by updating reference fields. In the presence of recursive procedures and…

Heap memory errors remain a major source of software vulnerabilities. Existing memory safety defenses aim at protecting all objects, resulting in high performance cost and incomplete protection. Instead, we propose an approach that…

ROOT is a data analysis framework broadly used in and outside of High Energy Physics (HEP). Since HEP software frameworks always strive for performance improvements, ROOT was extended with experimental support of runtime C++ Modules. C++…

In today's software development landscape, the extent to which Java applications utilize object-oriented programming paradigm remains a subject of interest. Although some researches point to the considerable overhead associated with object…

Data structures and algorithms are essential building blocks for programs, and \emph{distributed data structures}, which automatically partition data across multiple memory locales, are essential to writing high-level parallel programs.…
