I expect they are registers that have been exposed to sufficient
heat to singe them. For a definitive answer you will probably
have to ask whomever Eric Sosman was originally responding to.

"int" is not a word in English.

"int" is not a word in English. It is a technical term in C, and
therefore can only be interpreted, on comp.lang.c, as the C int.

He told me it was just a typo. And that he was wondering if this
was all, or that there might be something to learn from the well
repected Eric Sosman. But I geuss that's not the case for Case
in this case.

It was obvious for everybody except you that the well re
Sosman made a joke: look up the word "singe" in your English dictionary
and compare with Eric's reply.
If you don't want to be exposed to this kind of jokes, carefully
proofread your posts before using the Send command of your news client.

Thanks Dan, I was unaware of the fact the singe is an English word.
However, from the start (as can be read in my first reply to Eric's
post) I was joke aware, but wondered if that was all.
I don't mind much, and actually like this kind of jokes. I hope you
understood mine when I responded to you with:
'I didn't say what kind of int, so technically what you propose
is covered by my statement'
Where I referred to our endless and entertaining discussion about the
meaning of the word 'more' a few day ago.
But yes, I bet I'd better better proofread my posts.
The difficult thing in understanding jokes on Usenet, is the lack of
all non-verbal information.
All the best,

if you would like to see a MIPS style simulator which contains all the
arhictectural features of modern microprocessors (5-stage pipeline,
branch prediction, separate instruction/data fetch units, etc etc.)
you may want to take a look at the SimpleScalar Toolset by Todd Austin
from the University of Michigan. Its written in C and is quite easy to
understand.
for my comp. arch project, i used it and hacked it to implement
different branch prediction schemes to see their performance. its
relatively easy to understand.
i think this will give you a good idea of how to write architectural
simulators in C.
good luck.

From The American Heritage Dictionary, second college edition, 1985.
emulate tr. v. 1. To strive to equal or excel, esp. through
imitation. 2. To compete with or rival successfully.
3. Computer Sci. To imitate one system with another so that
both accept the same data, execute the same programs and
achieve the same results.
simulate tr. v. 1. To have or take on the appearance, form,
or sound of; imitate. 2. To make a pretense of; feign.
Etymologically the proper word to use in this context is "simulate."
This is because "simulate" (from Latin similis) connotes likeness,
whereas "emulate" (from latin aemulus) connotes rivalry/competition.
However, as can be seen in the aforementioned dictionary entries,
in computer science the use of the word "emulate" to mean something
akin to "simulate" has been accepted for sometime now.
Note that the presence of entry (3) for "emulate" should not be
taken to mean that it is the accepted usage but rather the usage
is an exceptional case in the field of computer science.
That said, depending on the circumstances, even at present one or
the other of these words is preferred.

The traditional distinction is that "simulation" is done entirely in
software whereas "emulation" is done with special-purpose hardware
(either with or without additional software).

It was a failed attempt at humour (yes, I recognised the parallel with
the other thread) due to the precise meaning of the word "int" in the
context of c.l.c.
