Can someone explain what is (void (*) (void))((uint32_t)&__STACK_END)?

This is some startup file excerpt with interrupt vectors. #pragma DATA_SECTION(interruptVectors, ".intvects") void (* const interruptVectors[])(void) = { (void (*) (void))((uint32_t)&__STACK_END), resetISR, nmi_ISR, fault_ISR, … /* More interrupt vectors */ void (* const interruptVectors[])(void) – is a array of function pointers that must contain function names, but I can’t understand (void (*) (void))((uint32_t)&__STACK_END) syntax.

Execution was interrupted, reason: signal SIGABRT. 2D Array with dictionary-swift

CountDownLatch: object not locked by thread before wait()

I want to pause the main thread until the other thread finishes. I tried CountDownLatch and semaphore. but none of them worked. I got the same error for both. Caused by: java.lang.IllegalMonitorStateException: object not locked by thread before wait() Code public void testCountDownLatch(){ final CountDownLatch countDownLatch = new CountDownLatch(1); new Thread(new Runnable() { @Override public… Read More CountDownLatch: object not locked by thread before wait()

Why didn't x86 implement direct core-to-core messaging assembly/cpu instructions?

After serious development, CPUs gained many cores, gained distributed blocks of cores on multiple chiplets, numa systems, etc but still a piece of data has to pass through not only L1 cache (if on same core SMT) but also some atomic/mutex synchronization primitive procedure that is not accelerated by hardware. I wonder why didn’t Intel… Read More Why didn't x86 implement direct core-to-core messaging assembly/cpu instructions?
