A Case for Frontend Optimization
summary
Examines pushing optimization logic into the C++ compiler front end to make embedded code safer, faster, and more expressive. Describes a domain-specific language for hardware register access in standard C++ and shows how front-end metaprogramming enables correctness, advanced optimizations, and better developer ergonomics for microcontroller problems like undefined behavior, disjoint bitfields, and startup register initialization.
