Glossary<br />

Stack, Software<br />

Memory used by an application <strong>for</strong> storing return addresses, function parameters <strong>and</strong><br />

local variables. This memory is typically managed by the compiler when developing<br />

code in a high-level language.<br />

Storage Class<br />

Determines the lifetime of an object.<br />

Storage Qualifier<br />

Indicates special properties of an object (e.g., volatile).<br />

Trigraphs<br />

Three-character sequences, all starting with ??, that are defined by ISO C as replacements<br />

<strong>for</strong> single characters.<br />

Uninitialized Data<br />

Data which is defined without an initial value. In C,<br />

int myVar;<br />

defines a variable which will reside in an uninitialized data section.<br />

Vector<br />

The memory locations from which an application starts execution when a specific event<br />

occurs, such as a reset or interrupt.<br />

Warning<br />

Warnings report conditions that may indicate a problem, but do not halt processing. In<br />

the 16-bit compiler, warning messages report the source file name <strong>and</strong> line number, but<br />

include the text ‘warning:’ to distinguish them from error messages.<br />
