This is a memory management library specifically designed to work with the ARM7 embedded processor, but it should work on many other 32 bit processors, as well as 16 and 8 bit devices. You can even ...

Download PDF Join the Discussion View in the ACM Digital Library Recognizing Rust’s potential, the industry has shown significant interest in migrating legacy systems from C to Rust. Such migration ...

CPU speeds used to be the main bottleneck in applications, but over time, CPUs have gotten faster and faster. Along with the rise of big data, applications’ use of large datasets and consequent memory ...

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 ...

A topic that I find particularly interesting, which is raised by many embedded software developers whom I meet, is dynamic memory allocation – grabbing chunks of memory as and when you need them. This ...

The Unlink attack is a way of attacking the heap overflow vulnerability under the Linux platform. However, because the heap overflow data seldom directly leads to program control flow hijacking and ...

In this lab you will be writing a dynamic storage allocator for C programs, i.e., your own version of the malloc,freeandreallocroutines. You are encouraged to explore the design space creatively and ...

In C and C++, it can be very convenient to allocate and de-allocate blocks of memory as and when needed. This is certainly standard practice in both languages and almost unavoidable in C++. However, ...
