What would be the signature of your gcd function ?

Yes, and I think the quoted paragraph has so much more to do with coding around interfaces (behaviour) than with abstraction using non-exported package symbols.

Again, all this confusion is due to not being clear about virtual and physical memory. Every OS thread in linux does have a fixed virtual memory size (it is claimed when a thread i…

I think it is so important to not arbitrarily throw words like 'RAM' in such discussions, and use more unambiguous terminology such as - virtual address space and the resident set …
