My latest post from embeddedrelated.com:
“Many embedded software and firmware projects must be developed to high standards of reliability. To meet these reliability requirements, firmware project teams will consider many design tradeoffs. For example, an engineering team may avoid or outright ban the use of dynamic memory allocation, a feature typically accessed via the C library call “malloc” or the C++ allocator “new“. When authoring software under such constraints, firmware engineers typically resort to static compile time allocation of all necessary arrays, data structures, and variables. The benefits of a static allocation strategy include….”
