Active-Object State Machine in C++ A compact active-object C++ finite state machine providing RAII-safe asynchronous dispatch and pub/sub signals. C Language State Machine with Threads A C language ...

Over three decades ago, real-time software was predominantly written in assembly language or a combination of assembly and the C programming language. Even today, certain digital signal processing ...

This lesson starts a new segment about Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) — an important set of concepts critical to understanding any modern software, not just modern embedded software. As usual in ...

Most modern programming languages use garbage collection, but developers have options for how it is implemented and tuned. Get an overview of how garbage collection works in languages such as Java, ...

In our first post in this series, we discussed the need for proactively addressing memory safety issues. Tools and guidance are demonstrably not preventing this class of vulnerabilities; memory safety ...

We propose a method called Node Replication (NR) to implement any concurrent data structure. The method takes a single-threaded implementation of a data structure and automatically transforms it into ...
