I recently presented arguments for and against using dynamic memory allocation in C and C++ programs. 1 I do agree that truly safety-critical systems should avoid using dynamic allocation because the ...

As someone who has spent over two decades in the embedded systems industry, I’ve seen the vast evolution of technology—from 8-bit microcontrollers to today’s sophisticated, multicore systems. Yet, one ...

The Department of Computer Science and Technology, Peking University, Beijing, China, has shown that a novel dynamic memory mapping (DMM) model brings about additional flexibility to virtual resource ...

Dealing with dynamic memory traditionally has been one of the most awkward issues of C and C++ programming. It is not surprising that some supposedly easier languages, such as Java, have introduced ...

A technical paper titled “EDDY: A Multi-Core BDD Package with Dynamic Memory Management and Reduced Fragmentation” was published by researchers at University of Bremen. “In recent years, hardware ...

The National Security Agency (NSA) is urging developers to shift to memory safe languages – such as C#, Go, Java, Ruby, Rust, and Swift – to protect their code from remote code execution or other ...

The Zephyr Project is an open-source project—an operating system that targets the low end of the Internet of Things (IoT). It can be run on small microcontrollers and higher-end ones alike. It also ...

The C language has been a programming staple for decades. Here’s how it stacks up against C++, Java, C#, Go, Rust, Python, and the newest kid on the block—Carbon. The C programming language has been ...
