Talk:Waymarking

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The second definition of 'waymarking' could do with expansion by someone with experience of placing waymarks on a trail - there's clearly a certain skill to it (plus a lot of common sense I suspect) - I've been caught out by poorly waymarked paths on several occasions, a guide to what needs to be done would be good as sometimes I suspect it falls to someone inexperienced to 'just do it'.

[edit] waymarking games - not GPS

I've heard of people playing waymarking games by one person laying down tempoarary markers for others to follow. I've hesitated to include this here though as I can't find any references to this.

[edit] Waymarking in data structures

A new technique invented for space saving reasons in the LLVM that enables to use spare bits in sequence elements to store common information that normally would need its own field in the structure. Currently implemented for finding the end of an array given a pointer to an array element. More is explained here and here. 84.148.59.239 (talk) 07:44, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
