Learning 中文版 from Android Source code:1

The important role of English in the software industry is self-evident, especially to do international projects and write international software, good English expression is the necessary condition for the smooth progress of the project. Throughout the current IT industry, the proportion of programmers who are fluent in spoken English with foreign clients is not very high. To go to international standards, the language of this must pass.

I was just in the beginning when I was looking for a specially written English textbook for programmers, but did not find a particularly suitable. Through these years of project managers in Europe and the United States, I found that exchanges with foreign counterparts on the intention to communicate with the light grammar rules. The expression of one thing, as long as it can be expressed clearly with a few key words, can be understood by both sides, and does not use the grammar knowledge that we obscures during school. In that case, the vocabulary becomes more important.

These years have been doing with the Android source code related things, for open source project learning, Linus said well, we only read the F**king source code to truly understand the true meaning of the project. In the course of my reading there are a lot of good words or expressions, we can use it in future project communication, after all, this is still more original expression. I'm going to record these words, compare the usual expressions and use them in the source notes to learn them more profoundly. I just randomly wrote out the words and didn't follow certain rules.

Here are 5 words for today.

In binder source The meaning is the recipient. There is an interface in Ibinder.java called Deathrecipient, which is used as the recipient of binder death notifications.

Use the annotations of the Linktodeath method as examples:

Register the recipient for a notification if this binder goes away.

If Binder quits, notify the registered recipient (Register here is the meaning of the verb registration, this sentence such as the translation of the individual think good understanding some).

In Telephonymanager.java, the recipient is also translated as follows:

Example: Wood does not sink in water.

Using the source code:

In the audio and video related sentences I think I should make a pool. As in sub-Audiotrack.java:

It allows streaming of PCM audio buffers to the audio sink for playback.

It allows the PCM audio buffer to be written to the flow in the audio pool for playback.

4.track

Using the source code:

Common in audio systems, translated audio tracks, such as Getlatency notes in Adudiotrack.java:

estimated[English] [' est?met?d][beauty] [' est?met?d]
Adj. an estimate; expected; Estimated;

V. Unloading and discharging;
Third person singular: offloads; past participle: offloaded; now on: offloading; past tense: offloaded

Using the source code:

Audioflinger: The:P Laybackthread::track::flush () method has the following comment in Tracks.cpp, which is still used for unloading translation.

Prevent Flush being lost if the track was flushed and then resumed before mixer thread can run. This was important when offloading because the hardware buffer could hold a large amount of audio.

751         //Prevent flush being lost if the track was flushed and then resumed 752         //before mixer thread can run. This was important when offloading 753         //Because the hardware buffer could hold a large amount of audio 754         Playba ckthread->flushoutput_l (); 755         playbackthread->broadcast_l ();

This sentence is somewhat difficult to translate, I try my understanding (there are different views also look at the point):

If the audio track has been flushed (I think it's better to clear and empty) and the mixer thread can execute before resuming it, you can prevent flush loss (not executed).

This is important when uninstalling, because the hardware buffers can accommodate a large amount of audio.

flush[English][FL??] Beauty [FL??]
