The present invention relates to software programming techniques and, in particular, to a method and system for using machine-architecture support for control speculation of load instructions to provide machine-level support for detecting improper uses of distinguished values returned by software functions.
The present invention is related to software programming techniques. In many source-level programming languages, discrete portions of a software program are written as routines or functions that each return one or more return values. Software-program functions are somewhat related to the concept of a "function" in mathematics, mapping one or more input values, or domain variables, to one or more return variables. Often, various error conditions, or special conditions that cannot be easily handled, arise during execution of a function. It is a common software programming technique to export the fact that an error condition or other anomaly has arisen by returning a special return value, or distinguished value, to a calling routine. For example, many standard C-language and C++-language routines return pointers, essentially memory addresses, to various data and objects, and, in the case of the occurrence of an error condition, return a special value "NULL," often encoded as the integer value "0," that can never be the value of a valid pointer. In such cases, the return value must be checked by the calling routine for being equal to NULL prior to its use. In the case of a NULL pointer, for example, an attempt to dereference the pointer causes a fault condition at the machine-instruction level, since the virtual-memory address "0" is generally not accessible to source-level routines. The fault condition generally results in termination of the routine, and, in certain cases, may result in more serious conditions, such as operating-system crashes, data corruption, and other undesirable phenomena.
Failure to check a return value for NULL, or another distinguished value indicating an error condition, is a common programming error. When this programming error occurs in an application program directly following return of the function or routine that returns an error condition encoded in a distinguished value, an annoying, but easily debugged, application-program halt may occur. More serious problems, however, may occur in operating-system programs, or in any program in which the unchecked return value is not immediately used, but, instead, passed on to other routines or statements that may reside many instructions away from the function call. In operating systems, a premature program halt may not be easily debugged, because the halt may bring the entire computer system to a halt, without preserving the data needed to determine where, in the operating system code, the halt occurred. When unchecked return values are passed through various additional routines and statements, it may be quite difficult to backtrack through hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of machine instructions or source-level statements to identify the point where the return value was not checked. Additionally, it often occurs that a return value is initially checked at one pointer after return of a routine, but later, the return is inadvertently accessed inappropriately despite the initial check. Such errors can be especially difficult to track down, because it appears that the return value was properly handled. Finally, many commonly used routines almost never return an error value, but are used many times throughout a large program. Memory allocation routines, such as malloc in C programming environments, represent one example of often called, but seldom failing routines. For such routines, return value checking can represent significant instruction execution overhead that is almost never necessary. Software programmers, computer designers and manufacturers, and, especially, operating system developers have therefore recognized a need for early detection and trapping of failure-to-check-a-return-value errors in programs, detection and trapping of errors resulting in use or access of a return value in a particular way, despite an initial check that indicated that the return value should not be used or accessed in that way, and a need for avoiding unnecessary error checking of return values.
One embodiment of the present invention provides a method and system for automated, nearly immediate trapping of a failure-to-check-a-return-value error in a computer program that employs machine-architecture support and machine-level detection of such errors. This embodiment also traps inadvertent and inappropriate use or access of a return value despite an initial error check that indicates that the error value should not be so used or accessed. In addition, this embodiment can be employed to avoid explicit checking of return values for error conditions.
One embodiment of the present invention provides a means for machine-level detection of software-program errors resulting from a failure to check a return value for one or more distinguished values before attempting to subsequently use the returned value. Modern processor architectures, such as the Intel® IA-64 processor architecture, provide for control speculation of load instructions. Control speculation of load instructions allows a load instruction to relocated, for optimization purposes, above a conditional branch instruction that, in corresponding, original, non-optimized code, controls whether or not the load instruction is executed. A check instruction is placed in the same position, relative to the conditional branch instruction, that is occupied by the load instruction in the non-optimized code. The processor may defer certain exceptions that arise during execution of the relocated, control-speculative load instruction. To defer an exception, the processor sets a 1-bit register, or bit within a register, referred to as a not-a-thing ("NAT") bit, associated with the register target of the control-speculative load instruction, to the value "1" to indicate the occurrence of the deferred exception. The exception is deferred until the check instruction, or another non-speculative instruction that accesses the target register of the load instruction, checks the associated NAT bit to determine whether an exception related to the target register of the check instruction or another non-speculative instruction was deferred. The value of the NAT bit associated with the control-speculative-load-instruction target register is automatically propagated to the NAT bits associated with other general-purpose registers that receive the contents of the control-speculative-load-instruction target register until the exception is handled, or a valid data value is subsequently stored in the control-speculative-load-instruction target register. An attempt by a non-speculative instruction to access the value stored in a general-purpose register associated with a NAT bit having the value "1" results in raising of a machine exception.
One embodiment of the present invention employs the NAT bits associated with general-purpose registers to flag distinguished values stored in general-purpose registers serving to store the return values of functions and routines. By using NAT bits to flag error return values, the described embodiment of the present invention insures that failures to check distinguished return values, such as NULL pointers, are detected nearly immediately after the failure to check the return value, and not further along in a program, where debugging can be quite difficult. Inadvertent and inappropriate use of, or access to, a return value can also be detected. Furthermore, by setting up a NAT exception handler, an operating system can insure that a failure-to-check-a-return-value error can be handled at run-time, without halting the operating system and destroying the state of the machine needed to identify where the failure-to-check-a-return-value error occurred in the code. Finally, the NAT bits can be used to avoid explicit return value checks, allowing a program to rely instead on error handling routines for exceptional cases.
Machine-architecture support for control speculation of load instructions, used in one embodiment of the present invention for machine-level detection of software programming errors, and an embodiment of the present invention, are best described with respect to a very short, C++-like pseudocode implementation of two classes, presented below, along with a short pseudo-assembly-language version of a for-loop extracted from a function member of one of the two classes. In a first subsection, the C++-like pseudocode implementation of the two classes is presented. In a second subsection, control speculation is described with reference to the short pseudo-assembly-language version of a for-loop extracted from a function member of one of the two classes. In a third subsection, the C++-like pseudocode is modified to add functionality, but with a common software bug that results in program termination. Finally, in a fourth subsection, one embodiment of the present invention is employed to address the problem described in the third subsection.
The C++-like pseudocode implements a class "candidate" and a class "election." An instance of the class "candidate" represents a candidate running in an election, and an instance of the class "election" represents an election in which votes for candidates are polled and a winner determined. This simple C++-like pseudocode is provided only as an illustrative context for discussion of an pseudo-assembly-language version of a portion of the function member "winner" of the class "election," and for discussion of one embodiment of the present invention.
First, the C++-like pseudocode begins with an include directive and three constant declarations:
1 #include <string.h>
2 const int MAX_NAME = 100;
3 const int MAX_BIO = 4096;
4 const int MAX_CANDIDATES = 100
Next, the C++-like pseudocode includes several class declarations:
1 class candidate 2 { 3 private: 4 char name[MAX_NAME]; 5 int candidateNo; 6 char bio[MAX_BIO]; 7 int numVotes; 8 public: 9 bool in(const char* c) {return strstr(name, c) != NULL;}; 10 char* getName() {return name;}; 11 void setName(const char* nm) {strcpy(name, nm);}; 12 int getNo() {return candidateNo;}; 13 void setNo(int n) {candidateNo = n;}; 14 char* getBio() {return bio;}; 15 void setBio(const char* b) {strcpy(bio, b);}; 16 int getVotes() {return numVotes;}; 17 void incVotes() {numVotes++;}; 18 candidate(); 19 ~candidate(); 20 };
An instance of the class "candidate" includes data members, declared above on lines 4–7, that store the name of, and identification number for, biographical information for, and the number of votes for a particular candidate. The class "candidate" includes function members, declared above on lines 9–17, for storing and retrieving values to and from the data members.
Next, a declaration for the class "election" is provided:
1 class election 2 { 3 private: 4 candidate candidates[MAX_CANDIDATES]; 5 int num; 6 public: 7 void addCandidate(const char* c, int n, const char* bio); 8 candidate* getCandidate(int cNo) {return 9 (cNo <= num && cNo >= 0)? &(candidates[cNo − 1]): NULL;}; 10 void vote (const char* c); 11 int winner(); 12 election(); 13 ~election(); 14 };
An instance of the class "election" includes two data members, declared above on lines 4–5. The array "candidates" contains a number of instances of the class "candidate" and "num" contains the number of instances of the class "candidates" stored in the data-array member "candidates." The class "election" includes function members, declared above on lines 7–13, that include functions to add a candidate to the election, to get a pointer to a particular candidate, to vote for a candidate, and to select the winner of an election.
Implementations for non-line function members for the classes "candidate" and "election" are provided below:
1 candidate::candidate() 2 { 3 strcpy(name, ""); 4 numVotes = 0; 5 } 1 void election::addCandidate(const char* c, int n, const char* b) 2 { 3 candidates[num].setName(c); 4 candidates[num].setBio(b); 5 candidates[num].setNo(n); 6 num++; 7 } 1 void election::vote(const char* c) 2 { 3 int i; 4 for (i = 0; i < num; i++) 5 { 6 if (candidates[i].in(c)) candidates[i].incVotes(); 7 } 8 } 1 int election::winner() 2 { 3 int i, maxVotes = 0; 4 int res = −1; 5 for(i = 0; i < num; i++) 6 { 7 if (candidates[i].getVotes() > maxVotes) 8 { 9 res = candidates[i].getNo(); 10 maxVotes = candidates[i].getVotes(); 11 } 12 } 13 return res; 14 }
The function member "winner" iterates through all instances of the class "candidate" and data-array member "candidates" in the for-loop of lines 5–12 searching for the instance of class "candidate" that contains the largest number of votes.
The following discussion focuses on an exemplary for-loop from the function member "winner" of the class "election," discussed above:
5 for (i = 0; i < num; i++) 6 { 7 if (candidates[i].getVotes() > maxVotes) 8 { 9 res = candidates[i].getNo(); 10 maxVotes = candidates[i].getVotes(); 11 } 12 }
A possible pseudo-assembly-language version of this for-loop is provided below:
// r1 = this // r2 = offset to num // r3 = offset to candidates // r4 = sizeof(candidate) // r5 = offset to candidateNo // r6 = offset to numVotes // r7 = maxVotes // r8 = i // r9 = res 1 mov r8 = 0 // i = 0 2 add r10 = r1, r2 3 ld8 r11 = [r10] // r11 = num 4 add r12 = r1, r3 // r12 = &(candidates[0]) 5 LOOP: cmp.lt p0, p1 = r8, r11 // i < num 6 (p1) br.cond ENDLOOP // if (i >= num) terminate loop 7 add r13 = r12, r6 8 ld8 r14 = [r13] // r14 = candidates[i].numVotes 9 cmp.gt p2, p3 = r14, r7 // candidates[i].numVotes > maxVotes 10 (p3) br.cond CONTIN // if (candidates[i].numVotes <= 11 add r15 = r12, r5 // maxVotes) continue 12 ld8 r9 = [r15] // res = candidates[i].candidateNo 13 mov r7 = r14 // maxVotes = candidates[i].numVotes 14 CONTIN: add r8 = 1, r8 // i = i + 1 15 add r12 = r12, r4 // r12 = &(candidates[l]) 16 br LOOP 17 ENDLOOP:
In the commented lines at the beginning of the above pseudo-assembly-language code, definitions for registers "r1"–"r9" are provided in terms of data members and local variables of the corresponding C++-like pseudocode, described above. The numbered lines contain assembly language instructions for carrying out the for-loop, and are commented to indicate their correspondence to C++-like code.
Consider the load instruction on line 12 of the above pseudo-assembly-language extract. A load instruction generally requires a larger number of processor cycles, and a greater degree of execution latency involved in cache accesses through a processor bus, than register-to-register instructions, such as the move instruction on line 13. Optimizing compilers seek to move load instructions upward, in the execution sequence, so that they can execute in parallel with register-to-register instructions, and complete prior to the need for the value accessed by the load instruction. For example, lines 11 and 12 could be moved, by an optimizing compiler, upward, directly after line 8, as follows:
1 mov r8 = 0 // i = 0 2 add r10 = r1, r2 3 ld8 r11 = [r10] // r11 = num 4 add r12 = r1, r3 // r12 = &(candidates[0]) 5 LOOP: cmp.lt p0, p1 = r8, r11 // i < num 6 (p1) br.cond ENDLOOP // if (i >= num) terminate loop 7 add r13 = r12, r6 8 ld8 r14 = [r13] // r14 = candidates[i].numVotes 9 add r15 = r12, r5 // maxVotes) continue 10 ld8 r9 = [r15] // res = candidates[i].candidateNo 11 cmp.gt p2, p3 = r14, r7 // candidates[i].numVotes > maxVotes 12 (p3) br.cond CONTIN // if (candidates[i].numVotes <= 13 mov r7 = r14 // maxVotes = candidates[i].numVotes 14 CONTIN: add r8 = 1, r8 // i = i + 1 15 add r12 = r12, r4 // r12 = &(candidates[l]) 16 br LOOP 17 ENDLOOP:
The load is launched, in the second version of the assembly code, above, prior to the need for the results of the load instruction. Because modern processors, such as processors conforming to the Intel® IA-64 processor architecture, referred to below as "the IA-64 processor," pipeline instructions and because these modem processors employ non-blocking caches, the load instruction executes in parallel with subsequent instructions. In the current case, the results of the load instruction are needed only following termination of the loop and return from the function member "winner."
However, should an exception arise during execution of the load instruction, the run-time system needs to defer the exception until the results of the load instruction are actually used. Otherwise, had the load instruction not been executed in the non-optimized code because of the controlling conditional branch, an exception arises during execution of the relocated load instruction that would not have arisen had the assembly code not been optimized by moving the load instruction upward. The optimized program may fail, with a fault condition, in a case in which the non-optimized program would have executed correctly to completion. For example, consider the conditional branch instruction in the first version of the assembly code, on line 10, directly above computation of the memory address of the data member "candidateNo" on line 11 and the load instruction that fetches the contents of the computed memory address, on line 12. In many cases, when the currently considered candidate does not have a number of votes greater than the value in max Votes, the instructions immediately following the conditional branch on line 10 are not executed. Consider, by contrast, the second assembly code version, in which the load instruction originally on line 12 has been relocated above the conditional branch originally on line 10. In the optimized assembly code, the load instruction is executed during each iteration of the loop, rather than only when a currently considered candidate has a greater number of votes than the value stored in maxVal. If an exception occurs during execution of the load instruction in a loop iteration in which, in the non-optimized code, the load instruction would not have been executed, then the optimized assembly code may fail in a case in which the non-optimized assembly code would not have failed.
The above-described problem is solved, in modern processors, such as the Intel IA-64 processor family, by providing for control speculation of load instructions. The following pseudo-assembly-language code includes a control-speculative version of the load instruction, originally on line 15, but relocated upward to line 13:
1 mov r8 = 0 // i = 0 2 add r10 = r1, r2 3 ld8 r11 = [r10] // r11 = num 4 add r12 = r1, r3 // r12 = &(candidates[0]) 5 LOOP: cmp.lt p0, p1 = r8, r11 // i < num 6 (p1) br.cond ENDLOOP // if (i >= num) terminate loop 7 add r13 = r12, r6 8 ld8 r14 = [r13] // r14 = candidates[i].numVotes 9 add r15 = r12, r5 // maxVotes) continue 10 ld8.s r9 = [r15] // res = candidates[i].candidateNo 11 cmp.gt p2, p3 = r14, r7 // candidates[i].numVotes > maxVotes 12 (p3) br.cond CONTIN // if (candidates[i].numVotes <= 13 mov r7 = r14 // maxVotes = candidates[i].numVotes 14 chk.s r9, RECVR 15 CONTIN: add r8 = 1, r8 // i = i + 1 16 add r12 = r12, r4 // r12 = &(candidates[l]) 17 br LOOP 18 RECOVR: ld8.s r9 = [r15] 19 br CONTIN 20 ENDLOOP:
Note that the two instructions that originally resided on lines 11 and 12 are relocated upward to lines 9 and 10. Thus, the add instruction that computes the address of the data member "candidateNo," and the subsequent load instruction that loads the value of candidateNo from memory into register "r9," have now been moved above the conditional branch instruction, originally on line 10 and now on line 12, that, in the non-optimized pseudo-assembly-language extract, controls whether or not the two instructions are executed. By moving the two instructions upward, the long-latency load instruction can be executed in parallel with the subsequent compare and branch instructions so that, when the result is needed, the value will have already been successfully fetched from memory. A new instruction, "chk.s," now occupies line 14 in the same place originally occupied by the two relocated instruction with respect to the conditional branch instruction now on line 12, and the load instruction that was moved upward has now become a "ld8.s" instruction. The ".s" suffix indicates a control-speculated load, for which the processor defers certain exceptions that occur during execution of the load instruction until the register containing the result of the load instruction is subsequently used in a non-speculative instruction or specified as an argument to a chks instruction. The chks instruction on line 14 checks to see if the previously executed load instruction, on line 10, successfully completed, without exceptions. If no exceptions occurred, then the processor continues by executing the next instruction following the chk.s instruction. However, if an exception did occur during previous execution of the load instruction on line 10, then a branch is taken to the instruction labeled with the label "RECVR," on line 18. The label "RECVR" labels a recovery block, in which the load instruction is reissued prior to branching back to the statement labeled with the label "CONTIN."
Control speculation is made possible in the IA-64 processor by the addition of various registers and register fields within the register set as well as by control-speculation logic included in the processor.
Control speculation is configurable via fields within various system registers.
The details of the exact behavior of the IA-64 processor in response to the values in the various bit fields described above are beyond the scope of the discussion necessary to provide background for the present invention. Those details are available in the Intel IA-64 Architecture Software Developers Manuals, Volumes 1–4, published by Intel. However, it is important to note that the NAT bits associated with general-purpose registers, as well as similar encodings associated with floating-point registers, flag the occurrence of exceptions during speculated load execution, that processor behavior with respect to execution of speculated load instructions is configurable, via certain system registers, and that certain exceptions that may arise during execution of the speculated load instruction may be configured, via the DCR register, to be deferred or to be immediately raised. It should also be noted that NAT bits propagate to registers to which the contents of a register associated with a set NAT bit are moved, or to which results derived from a value stored in register associated with a set NAT bit are stored. Propagation of NAT bits insures that invalid register contents resulting from deferred speculative loads are not used as a result of transferring the invalid register contents to another register.
As is usual in software development, a later developer may decide to modify the above-described classes "candidate" and "election" in order to add functionality. In the following, changes that represent one such attempt to modify the classes are described, largely without again describing those portions of the class implementations that are not modified. First, the class "candidates" is modified to include a new data member "nameLen" that either contains the number of characters in the data member "name," or that contains the value "0," in the case that no candidate name is currently contained in data member "name," and the function member "getName" is modified to return a NULL pointer, in the case that no candidate name is currently contained in data member "name:"
1 class candidate 2 { 3 private: 4 char name[MAX_NAME]; 5 int nameLen; 6 int candidateNo; 7 char bio[MAX_BIO]; 8 int numVotes; 9 10 public: 11 bool in(const char* c) {return strstr(name, c) != NULL;}; 12 char* getName() {return (nameLen > 0) ? name : NULL;}; 13 void setName(const char* nm) 14 {strcpy(name, nm); nameLen = strlen(name);};
Note that the entire declaration for the class candidate is not provided, nor is the entire declaration of the class "election" be provided below, but only enough of the declaration to show the modifications that have been made to the original class declaration:
class election { private: candidate candidates[MAX_CANDIDATES]; int num; int candidateNames(char** names); public: void addCandidate(const char* c, int n, const char* bio); candidate* getCandidate(int cNo) {return (cNo <= num && cNo >= 0) ? &(candidates[cNo − 1]): NULL;}; void vote (const char* c); int winner(); void printNames();
Two new function members have been added to the class "election:" (1) private function member "candidateNames," which places pointers to the names of candidates, stored in instances of the class "candidate" within the data array "candidates," into an array of pointers supplied as an argument, returning the number of names processed; and (2) "printNames," which prints out the names of the candidates in alphabetic order. Implementations for these new member functions, as well as a compare function used by a call to a quicksort routine, follow:
1 int compare(const void *a1 const void *a2) 2{ 3 return (_stricmp(*(char**) a1, *(char**) a2)); 4} 1 int election::candidateNames(char** names) 2{ 3 int i; 4 for (i = 0; i < MAX_CANDIDATES; i++) 5 { 6 names[i] = candidates[i].getName(); 7 } 8 return i; 9} 1 void election::printNames() 2{ 3 char* nms[MAX_CANDIDATES]; 4 int i,j; 5 j = candidateNames(&(nms[0])); 6 qsort( (void )&(nms[0]), j, sizeof(char), compare); 7 printf("\n Candidate Names: \n"); 8 for (i = 0; i < j; i++) 9 { 10 printf(" %s\n", nms[i]); 11 } 12 printf("\n"); 13}
The function "compare" simply calls the function "_stricmp" to lexically compare two strings. The function member "candidateNames" iterates through the data-array member "candidates," placing a pointer to each candidate name into the array of pointers supplied as argument "names." Unfortunately, the programmer has erroneously programmed the for-loop to iterate through the entire data-array "candidates," using the constant "MAX_CANDIDATES" in the test portion of the for-loop statement, rather than data member "num." As a result, for any election having less than MAX_CANDIDATES candidates, one or more NULL pointers are returned by function member "getName" of class "candidate," on line 6 of function member "candidateNames," which are inserted by candidateNames into the array of pointers "names." The programmer has made a second, and more serious error, by not checking the return value from the call to candidateNames for a returned NULL pointer. The function member "printNames" calls function member "candidateNames," on line 5, to place pointers to the names of the candidates into local array "nms," calls qsort, on line 6, to alphabetically sort the names, and then, in the for-loop of lines 8–11, prints out the names of candidates in alphabetical order.
Unfortunately, when the function member "printNames" is called for an instance of the class "election" with fewer than 100 candidates, the program containing the instance of the class "election" prematurely terminates with an unrecoverable error. Additionally unfortunate, for an inexperienced programmer, is the fact that the program terminates within the pseudo-assembly-language routine "qsort," included from a standard library and called from function member "printNames." The cause of premature termination may not be immediately obvious to the inexperienced programmer. As discussed above, the termination ultimately results from two programming errors in the implementation of function member "candidateNames." Had the programmer tested the pointer returned by the call to candidates[i].getName( ), on line 6, for equality with the value NULL, the programmer could catch the problem immediately. Instead, NULL pointers are added to the local array "nms," and then passed to the standard-library routine "qsort," which crashes attempting to dereference a NULL pointer.
The problem illustrated in this simple example can be straightforwardly debugged, but a similar problem within operating-system code, far below the level within a computer at which adequate debugging support is provided, can be difficult and time-consuming to find, the difficulty compounded by the code and time distances separating a failure to detect a distinguished value, such as a NULL pointer, returned by a function, and an attempt to use the distinguished value as the source or target of an instruction for which it is inappropriate. Correct programming practice obviates the need to debug such problems, but, as has been clearly demonstrated for the past 40 years, few programs are initially correctly written.
Another problem that commonly arises is that a programmer may check return values, but still inadvertently use certain return values inappropriately. For example, consider another attempt at writing the member function candidateNames:
1 int election::candidateNames(char** names) 2 { 3 int l = 0; 4 while (i < MAX_CANDIDATES) 5 { 6 names[i] = candidates[i].getName(); 7 i++; 8 if (names[i] == NULL) break; 9 } 10 return i; 11 }
In this case, the programmer checked for a NULL return value, but only after incrementing i, and thus a NULL value still may be incorporated within the array of names, and cause qsort to fail, as with the previous version of candidateNames. Thus, programmers may improperly use error return values despite cursory checks for such values. Finally, note that, even if properly written, explicit checks for error values may be expensive. For example, in the above loop, an additional test is made during each loop iteration. In many cases, where error return values are infrequent, it would be desirable to forgo them altogether.
The machine support, described above, that supports control speculation can be used to automatically detect failure-to-detect-distinguished-value errors in programs. A NAT bit, or a similar 1-bit register associated with a floating-point register, can be set for a register, which returns a distinguished value from a function call. When the NAT bit is set, any non-speculative use of the register raises an exception, for which an appropriate exception handler can be written to allow a programmer to identify the offending use of the register with the associated NAT register set to the value "1." Two advantages accrue from using NAT bits to distinguish return values. First, any non-speculative use of the return value, even storing the return value in memory for future use, triggers an exception, so that the failure-to-check-for-distinguished-value is detected almost immediately, rather than many hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of instructions later. Second, the distinguished value can never inadvertently be employed successfully in a situation in which it is not intended to be used, leading even harder-to-debug errors. For example, consider a pointer with a distinguished value other than "0" returned from a function. Generally, the value is not a valid virtual-memory address, but, perhaps, quite accidentally, the value might reference a valid virtual-memory location. Should the pointer be used, without checking for the distinguished value, as the target of a store instruction, a valid memory location may be erroneously overwritten. Overwriting may, in turn, lead to a yet more serious error later in execution of the program, or even in execution of another program at a later time. Such problems are extremely difficult to diagnose and correct. By using the NAT-bit mechanism to flag distinguished values, failure-to-check-for-distinguished-value errors cannot lead to these serious, subsequent errors, since any non-speculative use of the NAT-bit-flagged register results in an exception.
In order to employ the NAT-bit mechanism to solve the above-described problem, the distinguished return value from the routine "getName" may be flagged as follows:
char* candidate::getName() { if (nameLen > 0) return name; else { char* retVal = NULL; _asm { load.s retVal, [0] } return retVal; } }
In the above, modified version of the routine "getName," a C++ assembly-language directive is used to attempt to speculatively load a value from the invalid virtual-memory address "0" into the register used for the return value. The load instruction results in a deferred exception, and setting of the corresponding NAT bit. Any subsequent non-speculative use of the return value will immediately raise a NAT-bit-set exception, identifying a failure to check for the distinguished value. Alternatively, if no use is made of the return value, then no exception is raised.
When NAT bits are used to distinguish error return values, explicit checks may be avoided. For example, rather than test the return value from the C-programming-environment routine malloc each time malloc is called, malloc may be rewritten to set the NAT bit of the register containing the returned pointer value, so that, in the very rare case that malloc fails, the failure can be handled by an exception handling routine designed for that purpose.
Although the present invention has been described in terms of a particular embodiment, it is not intended that the invention be limited to this embodiment. Modifications within the spirit of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art. For example, many different methods and techniques may be used to set a NAT bit corresponding to a register containing a return value, depending on the machine architecture and programming language. The IA-64 architecture does not provide an instruction for directly setting a NAT bit, requiring a technique such as attempting to access an invalid virtual-memory address. Other machine architectures that support similar 1-bit register flags may provide such instructions, in which case the 1-bit flags may be directly set. Similarly, a program may test directly for a set NAT bit, using a special instruction, such as the tnat instruction in the IA-64 architecture, in order to test for a distinguished-value return, or may, alternatively, depend on the exception mechanism. Future machine architectures may incorporate a separate array of registers, in addition to registers used for flagging deferred exceptions incurred by control-speculative load operations, to support distinguished return values. Such registers may be 1-bit registers, or may be multi-bit registers that would allow encoding of a number of different distinguished values. In the above discussion, return values from C++ functions were discussed, but the present invention may be employed for machine support of distinguished values returned by routines in variable arguments, or values stored in registers by assembly-language routines or execution blocks.
The foregoing description, for purposes of explanation, used specific nomenclature to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the specific details are not required in order to practice the invention. The foregoing descriptions of specific embodiments of the present invention are presented for purpose of illustration and description. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed. Obviously, many modifications and variations are possible in view of the above teachings. The embodiments are shown and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical applications, to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the invention and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.

I recently found out about this brand of hair extensions called LAYURI. They are a company based in Los Angeles, Cali. And I had never heard of them before. I got a chance to try out their 18in 120gram of hair in the color Beach Blond (which I dyed to match my exact hair color). I am obsessed. Their hair is super soft its 100% remy human hair and the price is at an affordable rate.
Whats great about them being 100% human remy hair is that you can do anything to them, as if its your own hair. You can straighten and curl. Style as desired.
- 100% remy human hair
- soft and doesn't tangle after washing.
- Price $99 for 120g 18in
- Bring a tester strip to match your hair
- Nothing negative to say *make sure to research the amount of hair in grams so you have the right amount go thickness.
More indepth video on the extensions and how to apply them.

News Anime Network to Begin Streaming Maid-Sama on June 15
posted on 2010-06-08 13:44 EDT
The Anime Network of North America has announced that it will start streaming the Maid Sama! anime series on June 15. The first episode will be available to Premium subscribers on that day, and then it will be available to Registered users on June 17. A new episode will follow on June 24 and every Thursday thereafter.
The anime adapts Hiro Fujiwara's Kaichō wa Maid-sama! romantic comedy manga. The story centers on a class president named Misaki Ayuzawa who despises the mostly male, slovenly population at her school, which was once an all-boys school. However, Misaki's most handsome schoolmate just discovered her secret — that she works afterschool at a maid café.
The anime premiered in Japan on April 1, and the 13th episode is slated to air there on June 24. Hiroaki Sakurai (Cromartie High School, Revolutionary Girl Utena) is directing the series at J.C. Staff (Honey and Clover, Azumanga Daioh). Tokyopop is publishing the fifth volume of the manga this month under the Maid Sama! title.

The Buccaneers made another addition to their defense today by signing former Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Tony McDaniel. The deal is for just one season and is worth approximately $2.5 million.McDaniel joins a crowded defensive tackle spot for the Bucs that already consists of Gerald McCoy, Clinton McDonald, and Henry Melton. Akeem Spence has not practiced this training camp, so this signing might reflect his injury status and inability to get back on the field. The signing of McDaniel may also be a sign that the Bucs aren't too thrilled with the idea of DaQuan Bowers making the final roster either.
The Bucs have been very active this off-season in adding new names to the defensive side of the ball. The additions they've made through free agency include: DT Henry Melton, LB Bruce Carter, S Chris Conte, S D.J. Swearinger, CB Sterling Moore, DE George Johnson, and others.
Do not expect McDaniel to play much on Saturday night, but expect him to make the final roster this season for the Bucs.Subscribe to The Commish Online Podcast on iTunes!

The fresh-faced young Leader of the Opposition put away his papers and spoke without notes. The environment, he told us, was "at the heart" of his party's agenda and "absolutely essential to what we are about". He promised to follow up his speech "with commitment in opposition" and to "deliver on it in government".
I have to admit I was convinced by Tony Blair's words a decade ago and said so. Wiser heads - including Peter Melchett, then executive director of Greenpeace - urged cautious scepticism.
They were right. For the past eight years Downing Street has frustrated green policies and championed dodgy technologies from GM to nuclear power. And though the Prime Minister can justly claim to have led the world in drawing attention to the dangers of global warming - he has taken little action at home.
So David Cameron's enthusiastic espousal of green causes since becoming leader of the Conservative Party - also promising to put the environment "at the heart" of his policies - makes me a little wary.
Although he made green issues central to his leadership campaign - unlike David Davis who virtually ignored them - there is little evidence of previous interest. One policy aide told me that I would find it in columns he had written for a national newspaper website. Yet not one of 72 pieces written over more than four years was devoted to them.
Steve Hilton, one of the new leader's inner circle, says he has "always felt very passionate" about green issues, adding that his cycling around London has alerted him to air pollution while his hobby of growing vegetables has established a bond with nature. But it is still strange that he made nothing of them earlier.
Yet there are signs that he does, indeed, mean business. While the Tories still have few green policies, he can argue that these await the work of a policy commission which he set up, with the radical environmentalist Zac Goldsmith as deputy chairman, within days of becoming leader. And the one set of policies he has outlined, on global warming, are the most far-reaching proposed by any top Western politician.
Meanwhile he focused on climate change in his acceptance speech and at his first Prime Minister's Questions, and will make a major speech supporting organic farming on Thursday. He wrote to Tory supporters urging them to recycle Christmas cards, paper and bottles - and is even putting solar panels and a windmill on his new Notting Hill house.
As he is acutely aware, having put environmental issues to the fore, he cannot disappoint without making it seem that he is as little to be trusted as Tony Blair.
In Peter Ainsworth as environment spokesman and John Gummer as chairman of his commission, he has appointed people with real green credentials. Neither would have taken the jobs unless they believed he was serious.
Perhaps most important, he has made it clear that he will not allow business to determine his position and appears to understand that the environment is central to economic and social policies, and not a marginal issue.
The crunch will come this summer over the Government's bid to support a new generation of nuclear reactors. But, for now, environmentalists are impressed by the new Tory leader. The present head of Greenpeace, Stephen Tindale, says he should be greeted with "optimism rather than scepticism".
Maybe I've just got a trusting nature. Maybe I am being suckered for a second time. But so far it looks as if David Cameron is ushering in the most important breakthrough yet in the greening of British politics.Reuse content

Jeremy Guscott's career for Bath, England and the Lions has been filled with countless moments of sublime skill and invention. In 222 appearances for his club, the centre has scored 119 tries, but few have been executed with the pace and precision of the score that condemned struggling Bristol to a 14th consecutive Courage League defeat at the hands of their West Country neighbours.
The 44th-minute try again raised a large question mark against his omission from the England side to face France on Saturday. It began in his own half, as the 31-year-old took a Phil de Glanville pass to power through a gap. The magic was in the subtlest of dummies that wrong-footed the full-back, Paul Hull, and left Guscott with just a hint of a gap on the outside, room enough for him to beat three defenders to the corner.
If the England coach, Jack Rowell, is content to leave his "prince of centres" on the bench, few expect Guscott to miss out on a third Lions tour this summer. The player himself is more cautious. "It's nice to be in the 62-man Lions squad but it's making the final 32 that counts," he said.
For Bristol supporters, their admiration of Guscott's virtuosity was matched only by their frustration at seeing Bath snatch the points again despite being outplayed up front.
It was also a red-letter day for another of Bath's old-timers, Nigel Redman, celebrating his 300th appearance with a first-half try. That 19th- minute score was cancelled out before half-time by two Paul Burke penalties and a try from the promising young flanker, Craig Short, to leave the home side 13-8 ahead.
However, two Jon Callard penalties on the wind and a superb conversion of Guscott's try turned the tables and Bath marched back to second place in the table.
The Bristol captain, Martin Corry, another in the preliminary Lions squad, and he cut a majestic figure in the last quarter. But Corry may be ruing a decision to run a close-range penalty instead of opting for a scrum which could well have yielded a penalty try.
Bristol: Tries Short. Conversions Burke. Penalties Burke 2. Bath: Tries Guscott, Redman. Conversions Callard. Penalties Callard 2.
Bristol: P Hull; B Breeze, M Denney, F Waters, K Maggs; P Burke, R Jones; D Hinkins, M Regan, K Fulman, C Eagle, S Shaw, M Corry (capt), E Rollitt, C Short.

The defending champions are now a point clear of the two London clubs at the top of the Premiership table after beating Tottenham 2-1 at White Hart Lane yesterday.
"Historically, we've always shown our determination in the second half of the season," said the United manager.
"It's not going to be easy but I think the players are ready. The important thing is to be there at the turn of the year."
Ferguson decided to play Rio Ferdinand yesterday and claimed that he would continue picking him until his eight month suspension begins on January 12.
If United decide to appeal against the severity of the ban to the Football Association they could continue selecting Ferdinand until the appeal process is exhausted. That could last at least another month and could be extended further if they then decide to mount a legal action.
"I felt Rio acquitted himself well against Spurs in the circumstances," said Ferguson. "He merits his position in the team because of his performances. He and Mikael Silvestre have formed a great partnership. With those two and Tim Howard we've got a great backbone, so why should I change it?"
Spurs manager David Pleat wasn't surprised by the selection of Ferdinand, who was jeered by sections of the Tottenham fans.
"It was a typical Alex ploy to suggest he might not play and then say to him 'go on, son, you're going to have to face everyone before long so go out and do it now'," he said.
"The booing? What do you expect them to do? Cheer him? That's just down to the tribalism of football."

Sadly, both of these misfits haven't been shamed enough as both back under their own names on Facebook. Retstorative justice shouldn't be an option for these sociopaths. They LOVE the attention
Annonymous (June 17th, 2012 at 8:51 pm)
Chelsea Andrews.. Lives in whalley, went to Kwantlen park secondary school and now works at mirage nightclub in guildford. Does anything even happen to these people who are caught? Does she actually pay for the crime or does she just get her name in the paper? Looks to me that that's all that she's getting. She shouldn't even be allowed to have a job.

Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences
Assistant/Associate Professor of Pharmaceutics
The University of Connecticut School of Pharmacy Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions, one at the assistant professor level and the other at the associate professor level. Both positions have an expected start date of August, 2017. The research specialty of interest is pharmaceutics, including the fields of drug delivery, pharmaceutical biotechnology, formulation science, and pharmaceutical manufacturing science.
The University of Connecticut (UConn) is in the midst of a transformational period of growth supported by the $1.7B Next Generation Connecticut (http://nextgenct.uconn.edu/ ) and the $1B Bioscience Connecticut (http://biosciencect.uchc.edu/ ) investments and a bold new Academic Plan: Path to Excellence (http://issuu.com/uconnprovost/docs/academic-plan-single-hi-optimized_1). As part of these initiatives, UConn has hired more than 450 new faculty at all ranks during the past three years. We are pleased to continue these investments by inviting applications for these faculty positions in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Under new leadership, the UConn School of Pharmacy is embarking on an ambitious plan to achieve recognition in the top 10% of pharmacy schools within the next five years. The Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences (http://pharmacy.uconn.edu/academics/pharmaceutical-science/) is housed in a 200,000 square foot state-of-the-art building in the science quad of the university and has a long history of academic drug discovery and development. Departmental faculty include an industry distinguished endowed chair in pharmaceutical technology and two Board of Trustees Professors (http://provost.uconn.edu/board-of-trustees-distinguished-professor/). Nationally, departmental faculty serve as chairs of NIH study sections, journal editors, and society presidents and have received prestigious awards for research and teaching. Faculty expertise encompasses medicinal chemistry, pharmacology and toxicology, and pharmaceutics. Robust connections to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies provide significant support and synergy for departmental research projects. Pharmaceutics faculty participate in two multi-university consortia, the Kildsig Center for Pharmaceutical Processing Research (CPPR) and the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Technology and Education (NIPTE). Substantial recent State funding supports the expansion of drug discovery in a private-public enterprise. Our collaborations with the Department of Pharmacy Practice, with its established Evidence-Based Practice Center, give us additional strength in translational science.
The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to research and scholarship through extramural funding, high quality publications, impact as measured through citations, and national recognition as through honorific awards. In the area of teaching, the successful candidate will share a deep commitment to effective instruction at the undergraduate, professional and graduate levels, development of innovative courses and mentoring of students in research, outreach and professional development. Successful candidates will also be expected to broaden participation among members of under-represented groups; demonstrate through their research, teaching, and/or public engagement the richness of diversity in the learning experience; integrate multicultural experiences into instructional methods and research tools; and provide leadership in developing pedagogical techniques designed to meet the needs of diverse learning styles and intellectual interests.
Minimum Qualifications
Must hold a Ph.D. degree in pharmaceutics, engineering, physical chemistry, biophysics, or a related field from an accredited institution.

Expertise to teach one of the core courses in the graduate pharmaceutics program curriculum and be able to teach pharmaceutics-related courses in the PharmD curriculum.
Excellent written and oral communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications
Preferred areas of research focus include drug delivery, pharmaceutical materials science, pharmaceutical manufacturing science, pharmaceutical nanotechnology, protein stabilization, and pharmaceutical freeze-drying.
At least 2 years of post-doctoral experience in an academic, industrial, or similar position for the Assistant Professor position and 6 years for the Associate Professor position.
Demonstrated scholarly productivity.
Potential for collaboration with pharmaceutics and other faculty at UConn.
Potential to contribute to the CPPR and NIPTE efforts.
An educational background in pharmacy or previous teaching in a PharmD curriculum.
Strong interpersonal skills and the demonstrated ability to work in a team environment.
Active participation in scientific societies related to pharmaceutics.
Proven commitment to working within a diverse environment.
Appointment Terms
These are full-time (9-month appointment) tenure track positions as Assistant/Associate Professor within the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences. The successful candidate's primary academic appointment will be at the University of Connecticut main campus in Storrs, CT. The desired starting date is August 23, 2017, but is flexible and negotiable. Faculty may also be asked to teach at one of UConn's regional campuses as part of their ordinary workload. Salary and rank will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
To Apply
Please visit UConn Careers at www.jobs.uconn.edu to submit the following items:
Cover letter.
Curriculum vitae.
A statement on research and scholarly plans (including area of research focus, potential collaborations, and current and/or plans for extramural funding).
A statement on teaching (including teaching philosophy, potential for teaching in the PharmD curriculum and how courses in the graduate program match the candidate's expertise).
A statement on commitment to diversity (including any plans for outreach to under-represented groups, integrating multicultural experiences in instruction and research, and pedogogies to meet the needs of diverse learning styles, etc.).
Representative journal articles.
Additionally, please follow the instructions in Academic Jobs Online to direct three reference writers to submit letters of reference on your behalf.
Screening of applications will begin in December, 2016 and continue until the positions are filled. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

All employees are subject to adherence to the State Code of Ethics, which may be found http://www.ct.gov/ethics/site/default.asp .
The University of Connecticut is committed to building and supporting a multicultural and diverse community of students, faculty and staff. The diversity of students, faculty and staff continues to increase, as does the number of honors students, valedictorians and salutatorians who consistently make UConn their top choice. More than 100 research centers and institutes serve the University's teaching, research, diversity, and outreach missions, leading to UConn's ranking as one of the nation's top research universities. UConn's faculty and staff are the critical link to fostering and expanding our vibrant, multicultural and diverse University community. As an Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity employer, UConn encourages applications from women, veterans, people with disabilities and members of traditionally underrepresented populations.

Bankruptcy Won't Protect Photo School President from $2.4 Million Debt
Posted by David Walker on Tuesday March 8, 2011 | Uncategorized
Posted by David Walker on Tuesday March 8, 2011 | Uncategorized
Hallmark Institute of Photography president George J. Rosa III won't be able to escape a $2.4 million debt to a Massachusetts bank through a bankruptcy filing, according to a recent court order.
The federal bankruptcy court in Massachusetts granted a default motion last week to People's United Bank of Springfield, Massachusetts, which sued Rosa one year ago for $2.2 million in unpaid loans. The court granted the motion because Rosa never responded to the bank's lawsuit against him. (Rosa now owes the bank $2.4 million because of accruing interest.)
Rosa had filed for federal bankruptcy protection in August, 2009. People's United Bank–his biggest creditor– subsequently sued him to prevent the bankruptcy court from discharging the debt that he owed to the bank. In its lawsuit, the bank alleged that Rosa kept two sets of books at HIP to hide assets from the bank and divert money for his personal use. HIP is located in Turners Falls, Massachusetts.
PUB took control of HIP in the spring of 2009, after Rosa began defaulting on his loans. The bank sold the school to Premier Education Group, which has continued to operate the photography school, and has kept Rosa as president.
Rosa's bankruptcy case is still pending, and the court order protecting PUB's debt from discharge in the bankruptcy case does not protect other creditors. They include B&H Foto & Electronics of Boston, which is owed more than $160,000, as well as printers, caterers, credit card companies, and other suppliers whom Rosa owes varying amounts of money.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 514086
ACLs need to be touched for controlC device last
Last modified: 2009-07-29 08:17:30 EDT
udev-acl should touch the ACLs for controlC devices last.
This patch fixes the problem:
The patch is a result of a discussion with Kay. He didn't bless the patch itself yet but he did bless the general approach. Would be good if this could be merged into udev before the F12 alpha freeze, because otherwise we have broken ACL handling for audio.
patch now blessed by kay and commited to upstream git.
