How to return to the latest launched activity when re-launching application after pressing HOME? [duplicate]

Oh, I think I’ve found the answer. Because I was launching the app by using IntelliJ, it seems it launches the application in a different way than a user, clicking a home screen widget, would launch. It’s explained in the answer to another SO question: This is due to the intents being used to start … Read more

C# Recursion Depth – How Deep can you go

I’ve increased the stack size during some documents recognition. It was really needed. So you can increase stack size for thread using following code: var stackSize = 10000000; Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(BigRecursion), stackSize); Thread(ThreadStart, Int32) — Initializes a new instance of the Thread class, specifying the maximum stack size for the thread.

Since this is a known behavior of Json.NET, as noted by this answer, a custom JsonConverter can be used when deserializing a stack that pushes items on in the correct order. The following universal converter can be used with Stack<T> for any T: /// <summary> /// Converter for any Stack<T> that prevents Json.NET from reversing … Read more

Why does the stack address grow towards decreasing memory addresses?

First, it’s platform dependent. In some architectures, stack is allocated from the bottom of the address space and grows upwards. Assuming an architecture like x86 that stack grown downwards from the top of address space, the idea is pretty simple: =============== Highest Address (e.g. 0xFFFF) | | | STACK | | | |————-| <- Stack … Read more

“enter” vs “push ebp; mov ebp, esp; sub esp, imm” and “leave” vs “mov esp, ebp; pop ebp”

There is a performance difference, especially for enter. On modern processors this decodes to some 10 to 20 µops, while the three instruction sequence is about 4 to 6, depending on the architecture. For details consult Agner Fog’s instruction tables. Additionally the enter instruction usually has a quite high latency, for example 8 clocks on … Read more
