Modern C++: C++ Patterns to Make Embedded Programming More Productive
summary
Shows concrete patterns: a declarative gpio definition and small functor-based chipselect that centralizes intent; constexpr thermistor lookup (256 floats compiled into .rodata) generated from compile-time formulas; a custom MCU file-stream that replaces <iostream> and reduces binary from ~157 KB (iostream) to about 2.3 KB (vs 1.7 KB empty main) — tiny cost for stream IO; an arena allocator that boosts allocations (341 → ~3×) for allocate-once ML graphs; examples compile and run on a dev board.
