Lab1 - 2 Open Sources Packages

-
 Hello everyone here is my two open sources project that I am going to discuss are as follow : Firefox Brower and VLC player.

Firefox Browser 

The License that Firefox Brower has is MPL. MPL is Mozilla public license. and under Mozilla with the current version of 2.0(html|plan text).

Process for submitting an patch:
Step 1  is every change to the code is tracked by a bug report in bugzilla.mozilla.org. Without a bug, code will not be reviewed, and without review, code will not be accepted.

Step2 is the patch is going to be commit to the version control and every patch should be submitted in the single complete change, separating distinct changes into multiple individual patches. And check that commit message is there.

Step3 is for testing the patch that has been reported. Most of the changes are done using automated test and the code is change. There is also a static analysis going on with JavaScript for the best practices and common mistakes.

Step4 is to submit the patch. Mozilla uses Phabricator code reviewer. and we can post the partial patch's on it.

Step5 is to wait till its gets review and there are many kind of tester like anti-tracking ,dev tools and many more

Step6 is to push the changes to the code and its done after the patch is reviewed successfully.




The VLC player has the license called GNU. GNU is general public License. the latest version is 3 and it binary based license.

As we know that whole VLC media player is now available on GitHub. So the patchs are do using GitHub only. The Page  Shows that how the patch's are send to VLC and how they are updated. We gets need to make the fill with extension called  .diff which will has the patchs in it. And we need to consider the right and proper manner of writing in it.  
And then after completing it we need to go through some check list which shows that code for the patchs is proper and no copyright is there and other stuff. After doing this stuff we need to send it to vlc-devel which is a developing group of vlc.  And it will be review and decision is taken to change it or not.

So all the request are done through the page as linked here. I come across one request that says that the include in the file are not proper they need to be change to different kind.

The includes i was taking was just small mistakes that are done by developer.

IFUNC What is IFUNC? With the aid of a resolver function that was also written by the developer, numerous implementations of a particular function can be created using the GNU indirect function support (IFUNC) feature of the GNU toolchain. During early startup, the dynamic loader calls the resolver function to determine which implementation the application will use. Once a decision on implementation is made, it cannot be modified for the duration of the procedure. How to use it? As you can see, there are already a few limitations on how IFUNC can be used.                                                             It is t he implementations and the resolver must both be defined in the same translation unit. functions that cannot be weakly specified.    Since the resolution of an IFUNC might occur very early in the dynamic loader startup process, especially if -Wl,z,now is used to generate the application, the limitations are actually stricter than this (requires all symbols be resolved

Lab5 Part 1 Algorithm 1

 We spoke about how to analyse sound and programmatically scale sound input before we started the lab. The process of sound analysis is not particularly unique. Integer and floating point (decimal) numbers used to represent sound input are parsed to perform analysis. Additionally, changing the level simply involves performing an arithmetic operation on each integer contained in the sound sample. And that was the lab's main objective. The objective was not without risk, though. The easiest or most naive way was to perform the procedure by looping through all the numbers. This was a lengthy and ineffective method, though, when done on a mobile device. Because the CPU executes this repeating operation each time the user changes the volume, this drains the battery. Our task was to come up with a more effective technique to accomplish this. We have sound samples in the lab that are exclusively represented by random numbers between -65,536 and 65,536, or the range. Why those strange digi

 In this lab we need to find how much is time need to complete the process of code. So here we need to find the number of the cycles that are need to complete the process of one line of code to processed. So as shown in photo  The load accumulator need two cycle to complete the process and only one time this code is run. After that store accumulator will run and same as load accumulator it will run ones with two cycle. After all the function will be run as shown above but when the loop will be there t process will be change there are 256 bytes in one page and there are total 4 page to this will run 12 time and as shown above it will be executed.  And the time will be 5935us when there was 1Mhz clock speed is there. To change the speed we need to make change like we need to change the loop of pages to only one  which can change the part of time but I am not able to make that one.
