Most C compilers do their static
initialization at compile time
- Only an idiot would create
a
process to fix the problem after it had
occurred.
But that makes an executable bloated. Seems kind
of dumb
to store a bunch of zeros - maybe thousands of them, in the
exe. You
would think the launcher could be only slightly
more intelligent to take a
count of bytes and supply the
zeros at launch time, wouldn't you? However, I do
agree with
you they don't deserve a patent
for the Java method. It is just a
logical alternative. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Ambassador Mollari, is that you?

Haven't read the 520 patent, but if it's about a[b] = c statements,
possibly Google could get around that with some equivalent
b[a] = c statements. LOL.
This hinges on Java arrays having (or the Java parser honoring)
the commutative property. Like in C myarray[3] equals 3[myarray];
when I read this in Dr. Dobbs many many years ago, I was
funnily dumbstruck.
