  • What is the “/usr/local/src” folder meant for?

    2 answers



I know this is rather subject to opinion but what are some good choices where on the file system to locate the source code of a build that the server builds (let's say it's a build/integration server)? E.g. there is /usr/src but I think that is rather a conventional location for shell-related stuff (correct me if wrong). How about /usr/local/src?



E.g. right now I check out foo (one of our apps we integrate) source code in /var/lib/foo but I think that may be a misleading reference. Of course it doesn't matter for execution purposes but I am trying to get in line with the convetions.

    Unfortunately the accepted answer there is slightly wrong (don’t use /usr/local/src for builds).

What is the "/usr/local/src" folder meant for? addresses /usr/src and /usr/local/src. The FHS says those directories should only be used for reference purposes.



For a build system I would use a temporary directory under /tmp, or the home directory of the (system) user which runs the builds, or a dedicated directory under /srv (e.g. /srv/workspace for Jenkins’ workspaces).



I wouldn’t use /var/lib/foo, that’s intended to store foo’s variable state, not its source code.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
