How Embedded C/C++ Toolchains Work

Talkat DebConf 2025 · on Saturday, 2025-07-19· at 07:30· Grand amphi· [embedded-and-hardware, compilers-and-language-design]

Covers the current state of embedded C/C++ toolchains in Debian, including GCC’s varied origins and the assortment of C and C++ libraries (noting newlib’s memory and testing limitations). Explains historical reasons for the present mix, shows how to build and run embedded code on real hardware as a demonstration, and proposes packaging and guidance changes to help users choose and use toolchains more effectively.
