A 61-YR-OLD man with untreated prehypertension (blood pressure of 120/80–139/89 mmHg) underwent an L2–S1 decompressive laminectomy and L4–L5 instrumented fusion during general anesthesia. The intraoperative and immediate postoperative courses were uneventful. Initially, he had no visual complaints. On postoperative day 1, the patient experienced confusion, severe headache, and increasing hypert...

A major problem in our earlier proposal for a C interface was that a part of the interface was not portable between platforms. The libcc interface solves this problem by using a C compiler and its .h-files. The .h-files contain knowledge about the specific platform, and the C compiler automatically inserts the necessary conversions between Forth and C types. In this paper we describe the libcc ...

Software projects that use a compiled language are built hundreds of thousands of times during their lifespan. Hence, the compiler is invoked over and over again on an incrementally changing source base. As previous work has shown, up to 97 percent of these invocations are redundant and do not lead to an altered compilation result. In order to avoid such redundant builds, many developers use ca...
