Lith. lapas. Cf. {Lodge}.]       1. (Bot.) A colored, usually green, expansion growing from             the side of a stem or rootstock, in which the sap for the             use of the plant is elaborated under the influence of             light; one of the parts of a plant which collectively             constitute its foliage.          Note: Such leaves usually consist of a blade, or lamina,                supported upon a leafstalk or petiole, which, continued                through the blade as the midrib, gives off woody ribs                and veins that support the cellular texture. The                petiole has usually some sort of an appendage on each                side of its base, which is called the stipule. The                green parenchyma of the leaf is covered with a thin                epiderm pierced with closable microscopic openings,                known as stomata.          2. (Bot.)

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
register dancing n.   Many older processor architectures suffer    from a serious shortage of general-purpose registers.   This is    especially a problem for compiler-writers, because their generated    code needs places to store temporaries for things like intermediate    values in expression evaluation.   Some designs with this problem,    like the Intel 80x86, do have a handful of special-purpose registers    that can be pressed into service, providing suitable care is taken    to avoid unpleasant side effects on the state of the processor:    while the special-purpose register is being used to hold an    intermediate value, a delicate minuet is required in which the    previous value of the register is saved and then restored just    before the official function (and value) of the special-purpose    register is again needed.
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
register          1. One of a small number of high-speed memory locations in a       computer's {CPU}.   Registers differ from ordinary       {random access memory} in several respects:          There are only a small number of registers (the "register       set"), typically 32 in a modern processor though some,       e.g. {SPARC}, have as many as 144.   A register may be directly       addressed with a few bits.   In contrast, there are usually       millions of words of main memory (RAM), requiring at least       twenty bits to specify a memory location.   Main memory       locations are often specified indirectly, using an {indirect       addressing} mode where the actual memory address is held in a       register.          Registers are fast; typically, two registers can be read and a       third written -- all in a single cycle.   Memory is slower; a       single access can require several cycles.          The limited size and high speed of the register set makes it       one of the critical resources in most computer architectures.       {Register allocation}, typically one phase of the {back-end},       controls the use of registers by a compiled program.          See also {accumulator}, {FUBAR}, {orthogonal}, {register       dancing}, {register allocation}, {register spilling}.          2. An addressable location in a {memory-mapped} peripheral       device.   E.g. the transmit data register in a {UART}.

register allocation          The phase of a {compiler} that       determines which values will be placed in {registers}.       Register allocation may be combined with {register       assignment}.          This problem can be shown to be isomorphic to {graph       colouring} by relating values to nodes in the graph and       registers to colours.   Values (nodes) which must be valid       simultaneously are linked by edges and cannot be stored in the       same register (coloured the same).          See also {register dancing} and {register spilling}.          [Preston Briggs, PhD thesis, Rice University, April 1992       {"Register Allocation via Graph Coloring"       (ftp://ftp.cs.rice.edu/public/preston/thesis.ps.gz)}].          (2000-12-04)

register dancing          Many older processor architectures suffer from a serious       shortage of general-purpose registers.   This is especially a       problem for compiler-writers, because their generated code       needs places to store temporaries for things like intermediate       values in expression evaluation.   Some designs with this       problem, like the Intel 80x86, do have a handful of       special-purpose registers that can be pressed into service,       providing suitable care is taken to avoid unpleasant side       effects on the state of the processor: while the       special-purpose register is being used to hold an intermediate       value, a delicate minuet is required in which the previous       value of the register is saved and then restored just before       the official function (and value) of the special-purpose       register is again needed.          [{Jargon File}]

register set          All a processor's {registers}.   The size and arrangement of a       processor's register set is one of the crucial factors in its       performance.

register spilling          (By analogy with spilling the contents       of an overfull container) When a {compiler} is generating       {machine code} and there are more {live variables} than the       machine has {registers} and it has to transfer or "spill" some       variables from registers to memory.          (1997-06-24)

Register Transfer Language          (RTL) 1. A kind of {hardware description language} (HDL) used       in describing the {register}s of a computer or digital       electronic system, and the way in which data is transferred       between them.          2.   An intermediate code for a machine with an infinite number       of {register}s, used for machine-independent optimisation.       RTL was developed by Chris Fraser and       J. Davidson at the {University of Arizona}       in the early 1980s.   RTL is used by the {GNU} C compiler,       {gcc} and by Davidson's {VPCC} (Very Portable C compiler).          ["Quick Compilers Using Peephole Optimisation", Davidson et       al, Soft. Prac. & Exp. 19(1):79-97 (Jan 1989)].          (1994-11-16)

Request For Comments          (RFC) One of a series, begun in 1969, of numbered       {Internet} informational documents and {standard}s widely       followed by commercial software and {freeware} in the       {Internet} and {Unix} communities.   Few RFCs are standards but       all Internet standards are recorded in RFCs.   Perhaps the       single most influential RFC has been {RFC 822}, the Internet       {electronic mail} format standard.          The RFCs are unusual in that they are floated by technical       experts acting on their own initiative and reviewed by the       Internet at large, rather than formally promulgated through an       institution such as {ANSI}.   For this reason, they remain       known as RFCs even once adopted as standards.          The RFC tradition of pragmatic, experience-driven,       after-the-fact standard writing done by individuals or small       working groups has important advantages over the more formal,       committee-driven process typical of {ANSI} or {ISO}.          Emblematic of some of these advantages is the existence of a       flourishing tradition of "joke" RFCs; usually at least one a       year is published, usually on April 1st.   Well-known joke RFCs       have included 527 ("ARPAWOCKY", R. Merryman, UCSD; 22 June       1973), 748 ("Telnet Randomly-Lose Option", Mark R. Crispin; 1       April 1978), and 1149 ("A Standard for the Transmission of IP       Datagrams on Avian Carriers", D. Waitzman, BBN STC; 1 April       1990).   The first was a Lewis Carroll pastiche; the second a       parody of the {TCP/IP} documentation style, and the third a       deadpan skewering of standards-document legalese, describing       protocols for transmitting Internet data packets by carrier       pigeon.          The RFCs are most remarkable for how well they work - they       manage to have neither the ambiguities that are usually rife       in informal specifications, nor the committee-perpetrated       {misfeature}s that often haunt formal standards, and they       define a network that has grown to truly worldwide       proportions.          {rfc.net (http://www.rfc.net/)}.       {W3       (http://www.w3.org/hypertext/DataSources/Archives/RFC_sites.html)}.       {JANET UK FTP (ftp://nic.ja.net/pub/newsfiles/JIPS/rfc)}.       {Imperial College, UK FTP (ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/rfc/)}.       {Nexor UK (http://www.nexor.com/public/rfc/index/rfc.html)}.       {Ohio State U       (http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/top.html)}.          See also {For Your Information}, {STD}.          (1997-11-10)
