This book is specifically for open source developers who need to know modern C. The C programming language is the foundation of open source and most modern operating systems--Linux, FreeBSD, and all other current versions of Unix--are written in it. In addition, popular languages like Perl and Python are also written in C. C is powerful and stable, and yet its syntax and concepts can trip up new programmers and, of course, developers coming from other languages. That's where this book comes in....
Self-adaptive software evaluates its own behavior and changes its behavior when the evaluation indicates that the software does not accomplish what it is intended to do or when better functionality or better performance is possible. The self-adaptive approach in software engineering builds on well-known features like the use of errors and the handling of exceptions in languages like Lisp or Java and aims at improving the robustness of software systems by gradually adding new features of self-ada...
