Something Hard to Google for

I'm working on some code and I noticed that there are functions that
contain a $ in them. Does anyone know what they mean? I suspect that
they are macro definitions, but I'm not sure if the $ is legal in a
macro def.

Or does a $ have an actual meaning in C/C++?

hmmmm... looks like OpenVMS code, isn't it? Folks at digital used it as
others do with underscore to separate parts of identifiers: SYS$QIO()
would mean something like QIO function of the SYS library.

Yet this is not valid in C++ identifiers, gcc does not complain about it
unless -ansi is passed,

Zoe is an application written in Java that is also a SMTP/POP/WEB server that sits between your normal mail user agent (Thunderbird, mutt or Outlook) and the rest of the world. Every mail you've received or sent is stored and indexed in Zoe, so that you can perform searches (ala Google) on your own mail database, via its web interface. I was wondering if there's something similar but written in Python.

Hi, I think I've hit a system limit in python when I try to construct a list of 200,000 elements. My error is malloc: vm_allocate (size = 2400256) failed...... Just wondering is this specific to my system or what? Will adding more RAM helps in this case?

I have asked a number of questions as a newbie trying to learn Access. Some folks have been very helpful with very direct and simple answers that help alot.

Does anyone have some super, super hard Sudoku puzzles? Back in February this year, I had enough time to finally program a Sudoku solver in Java. Right now, I'm looking for solvable puzzles, but ones that my program cannot solve. However, most hard puzzles in the newspapers are solved within 2-3 cycles so far. The ones I've found on google which are said to be hard, get solved in 3 cycles. Any help would be very much appreciated!...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
