Compile-time Initialization & Build Library for Composing Modular Firmware
summary
A compile-time library called the Compile-time Initialization and Build (CIB) composes modular embedded firmware by wiring independent components into nexus and main-loop extension points using constexpr and template metaprogramming. Components register callbacks at compile time so initialization work disappears from runtime, producing very small assembly; only a few pointer stubs remain and LTO further inlines and removes them. The demo builds greeting, loop-count, and ID features with zero runtime initialization and is on GitHub.
