I keep seeing "bootstrapping" mentioned in discussions of application development. It seems both widespread and important, but I've yet to come across even a poor explanation of what bootstrapping actually is; rather, it seems as though everyone is just supposed to know what it means. I don't, though. Near as I can figure, it has something to do with initialization tasks required of an application upon launch, but I could be completely wrong about that. Can anyone help me to understand this idea?

术语“自举”通常适用于系统依赖自身启动的情况,有点像鸡和蛋的问题。

例如:

如何编译用C编写的C编译器? 如果操作系统还没有运行,如何启动操作系统初始化进程? 如何启动一个分布式(点对点)系统,在这个系统中,客户端依赖于它们当前已知的对等点来查找系统中的新对等点?

在这种情况下,bootstrapping指的是一种打破循环依赖关系的方法,通常借助外部实体的帮助。

您可以使用另一个C编译器来编译(引导)您自己的编译器,然后您可以使用它来重新编译自己 您使用一段单独的代码来设置初始进程,而不依赖于操作系统提供的任何函数 您使用硬编码的初始对等体列表或提供对等体列表的硬编码跟踪器URL

etc.

在应用程序开发的上下文中,“引导”通常在讨论模块化和/或自动更新软件时出现。

而不是用户下载整个应用程序,包括他不需要的功能,并重新下载和手动更新它,只要有更新,用户只下载和启动一个小的“引导”可执行文件,它反过来下载和安装用户需要的应用程序的那些部分。此外,引导组件能够在每次启动时查找更新并安装它们。

为了完整起见,它也是统计学中一个相当重要的(相对较新的)方法,它使用重采样/模拟从样本中推断总体属性。它在维基百科上有一篇关于自我引导(统计)的长篇文章。

“Bootstrapping”来源于“靠自己的力量把自己拉起来”这个词。这些你可以从维基百科上得到。

在计算中,引导加载程序是机器启动时运行的第一段代码,负责加载操作系统的其余部分。在现代计算机中,它存储在ROM中,但我记得PDP-11上的引导过程,你可以通过前面板开关插入位来将特定的磁盘段加载到内存中,然后运行它。不用说,引导加载程序通常非常小。

“Bootstrapping”也被用作一个术语,用于构建一个使用自身的系统——或者更准确地说,是一个前身版本。例如,ANTLR版本3使用在ANTLR版本2中开发的解析器编写。

As a humble beginner in the world of programming, and flicking through all the answers here after seeing this word used a lot in apparently slightly different ways in different places, I found reading the Wikipedia page on Bootstrapping (duh! I didn't think of it either at first) is very informative to understand differences in use of this word. Could it be......on extremely rare occasions......Wikipedia might even have better explanations of certain terms than....(redacted)? Will they bring in rep points on Wikipedia though?

对我来说,似乎所有的意义都与:从尽可能简单的东西开始,用Thing2做一些稍微复杂的东西,现在你可以用Thing2比原来的Thing1更有效、更快地完成某些任务。然后从第二件事重复到第三件事,直到无限……

I see it as closely connected to both biological evolution and 'Layers of Abstraction' (newbies like me see, ahem, Wikipedia, cough) - the evolution from 1940's computers with switches, machine code, Assembly, C, Python, AIs you can give all kinds of complex instructions to like "make the %4^% dinner to my default &^$% requirements and clean the floor you %$£"@:~" in drunken slang English or Amazon tribal dialect without them 'raising an exception' (for newbies again...you guessed it) - missed out lot of links there due to simple ignorance.

那么在某些特定的软件意义上: 含义1:Thing1用于加载Thing2的最新版本(因为Thing2当然会比Thing1大,就像Thing3会比Thing2大一样)。

Meaning2: Thing1 is a lower level language (closer to 1001011100....011001 than print("Hello, ", user.name)) used to write a little bit of the higher language of Thing2, then this little bit of Thing2 is used to expand Thing2 itself from baby vocabulary level towards adult vocabulary level (Thing2 starts to be processed, or to use correct technical term 'compiled', by the baby version of itself (it's a clever baby!), whereas the baby version of Thing2 itself could of course only be compiled by Thing1, cause it can't exist before it exists, right duh!), then child version of Thing2 compiles Surly Teenager version of Thing2, at which point programming community decides whether Surly Teenager's 'issues' (software term and metaphor term!) are worth spending enough time resolving to be accepted long term, or to abandon them to (not sure where to take the analogy here).

如果是,那么Thing2已经“bootstrap”自己(可能有几次)从婴儿到成年:“孩子是男人的父亲”(华兹华斯,建议不要试图在Stack Overflow上查找引用或作者)。
