What is a great resource for learning about the implementation details of .NET generic collections? -

-

i'm interested in understanding underlying implementation details of generic collections in .net. have in mind details such how collections stored, how each member of collection accessed clr, etc.

for collections analogous traditional data structures, such linkedlist , dictionary, think have understanding of what's going on underneath. however, i'm not collections list (how set such both indexable , expandable?) , sortedlist, leads learn more them appreciated.

a great way start looking @ implementation details opening reflector , decompiling original source code. can decompile source code c# or vb , analyze dependencies in code. downside reflector isn't able produce easy read code optimized code , enumerators (which important part of collections implementation).

microsoft has released original source code, additionally provide original comments , unobscured variable names. see here how enable it. you'll need write small demo program make visual studio download right sources, they'll cached in folder can access them outside debugger. option use tool downloads complete sources. think there msdn download sources too.

another thing might want have @ how generics work. they're basics on collections built. compared java, .net implementation superior because allows collections of value types without taking performance hit. have written blog post on topic, might want check out or read official microsoft paper directly.

javascript - Enclosure Memory Copies -

-
function myclass() { //lots , lots of vars , code here. this.bar = function() { //do numerous enclosed myclass vars } this.foo = function() { alert('hello'); //don't enclosed variables. } } each instance of myclass gets own copy of bar , foo, why prototyped methods use less memory. however, know more memory use of inner methods. it seems obvious me (1) below must true. agree? not distinct myclass instances have own distinct copies of bar, must have own distinct copies of myclass enclosure. (or else how bar method keep myclass variables straight on per instance basis?) now (2) question i'm after. since inner foo method doesn't use in myclass enclosure natural qustion is: javascript smart enough not keep myclass enclosure in memory use of foo? this depend entirely on implementation not language. naive implementations keep far more around others. answer true e.g. v8 (chrome's js engine) may not true spider...

php - Replacing tags in braces, even nested tags, with regex -

-
example preg_replace('/\{[a-za-z.,\(\)0-9]+\}/', 'replaced', 'lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1({tag2()})}, consectetur adipiscing elit.'); the result: lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1(replaced)}, consectetur adipiscing elit. question as can see "tag2" has been replaced, want replace "tag1" know how can this? (in cases might this: {tag1({tag2({tag3()})})}) , on.) btw using preg_replace_callback, easier show preg_replace here site can test code: http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php you need add curly braces character set. here's pattern used: /\{[a-za-z.,\(\)\{\}0-9]+\}/ and here result: "lorem ipsum dolor sit replaced, consectetur adipiscing elit."
