Dealing with Embedded Limitations
summary
Panel goes through concrete limits and fixes: toolchains are often years-old because of recertification (Lynx compilers named), the standard library is largely unusable for safety work so the freestanding library proposal aims to carve usable pieces, exceptions currently allocate via the heap and incur stack‑unwinding and RTTI costs, and SG14 papers propose alternatives including low‑cost deterministic exceptions and low‑overhead allocators (jmalloc/TCMalloc variants). Practical advice: benchmark small rewrites, certify only chosen components, and try embedded targets (Raspberry Pi or MCU dev boards) before wholesale migration.
