Encyclopedia > Intrinsics

Intrinsics (also known as Xt, for X toolkit) is a library used in the X Window System. More precisely, it is a library that uses the low-level Xlib library and provides a friendly (object-oriented-looking) API to develop X11 software with graphical widgets. It can be used while programming in the C or C++ languages. Illustration of an application which may use libvorbisfile. ... KDE 3. ...

The low level Xlib library provides functions for interacting with an X11 server, but does not provide any function for implementing the graphical objects used in GUIs, such as buttons, menus, etc. Such objects are called widgets. The Xt library provides support for creating and using widget types, but does not provide any specific widget. Specific widgets are implemented by other libraries using Xt, such as Xaw and Motif.

A programmer can for example use the Xt library to create and use a new widget type such as a two-side button. Since applications typically require a number of standard widgets such as buttons, menus, etc, they usually rely on a library such as Xaw and Motif that provides such widgets, rather than implementing them directly using Xt. Xaw is short for the Athena widget set, which is a set of widgets to implement simple user interfaces based upon the X Toolkit Intrinsics. ... Screenshot of an application that uses the Open Motif toolkit Motif (or capitalized MOTIF) is a graphical widget toolkit for building graphical user interfaces under the X Window System on Unix and other POSIX-compliant systems. ...

LLVM Assembly Language Reference Manual (9759 words)
Intrinsic functions must always be external functions: you cannot define the body of intrinsic functions.
Intrinsic functions may only be used in call or invoke instructions: it is illegal to take the address of an intrinsic function.
intrinsic returns a uint value that has the four bytes of the input uint swapped, so that if the input bytes are numbered 0, 1, 2, 3 then the returned uint will have its bytes in 3, 2, 1, 0 order.
Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Properties (6524 words)
Lewis has in several places (1983a, 1986a, 1988) insisted that shape properties are intrinsic, but one could hold that an object's shape depends on the curvature of the space in which it is embedded, and this might not even be intrinsic to that space (Nerlich 1979), let alone the object.
It is crucial to the proof that Lewis's theory entails that this property is intrinsic that the quantifiers in the theory are possibilist.
Then many dispositional properties might turn out to be nomically intrinsic, capturing nicely the idea that they are in a sense internal to the objects that possess them, while their manifestation depends both on external facts, and on the laws being a certain way.
