《Programming Abstractions In C》学习第51天,p127-p129,总结如下:

一、技术总结

掌握常用函数如strlen,strcpy用法。

(1)什么是buffer?

p129,Arrays that are preallocated and later use as a repository for data called buffers。

(2)什么是缓冲区溢出?

p129,Writing data past the end of an buffer is a common programming error called buffer overflow。

//buffer overflow示例
char *src = "Hello";
char dst[1]; // dst称为buffer

strcpy(dst, src); // 该操作会导致buffer overflow问题

书中只是做一个简单的说明,具体可参考:

(1) wikipedia, Buffer overflow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow

二、英语总结

答:这里的应该是The function will go ahead and (copy characters right) (on past the end of the buffer),这句话有几个要注意的地方:

(1)right

adv. exactly or all the way(完全地),指的是“一直复制/继续复制”。在原文中也有一点"强调"的意思--虽然字符串已经超过了缓冲区的长度(Buffersize),但是strcpy函数还是会复制。当然,副词在句子中往往可以忽略,直接理解为copy也是可以的。

(2)on the end

这里之所以用on, 可能是因为data对buffer而言是on,例如:I have a pimple right on the end of my nose。参考:https://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/111682/on-the-end-of-something

(3)past

这里为什么使用past呢?如果不用,那么on the end of buffer也说得通。这里之所以用past,表示已经超过了缓冲区,past取“prep. to a position that is further than a particular point”之意。

答:

(1)oblige:ob-("to") + ligare("to bind"),to bind by oath(以誓言约束)。

(2)oblige > obligation:obligation的意思是“n. the fact that you are obliged to do sth”(义务,责任)

p129,"you have an obligation to check the length of the source string before you copy it using strpy"。

答:p129,“Thus,the Pig Latin equivalent of any is anyway”,初看到这句话的时候心里是困惑的,因为记忆中都是把equivalent当做形容词用,后面接to。这里接of,那么就是用作名词:n. sth that has the same amount,value, purpose etc as sth else。
