Wikipedia:Disambiguation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2080 words)
Disambiguation serves a single purpose: to let the reader choose among different pages that closely relate to various meanings of a particular term (some of which might logically utilize said term in a titular fashion).
Disambiguation should not be confused with the merging of duplicate articles (articles with different titles, but regarding the very same topic, for example "Gas Turbine" and "Gas turbine", or "loo" and "restroom").
Disambiguation descriptions should not be created for subjects whose only articles are on pages of sister projects, even if the disambiguation page already exists (e.g., the poll on 9/11 victims).
An Overview of the Intel IA-64 Compile (905 words)
Points-to analysis aids this process by accurately determining which memory locations may be referenced by a memory reference.
The compiler may disambiguate these two memory references either by determining that a and b are different memory objects or that field1 and field2 are non-overlapping fields.
In general, in order to disambiguate this pair of memory references, the compiler must perform points-to analysis [12], which determines the set of memory objects that each pointer could possibly point to.
