Embedded & C++
summary
Explains why the Ariane 5 overflow failure and late CPU overload make strict constraints for embedded C++: tiny RAM budgets and CPU spikes force design rules like no exceptions, no dynamic allocation, deterministic scheduling, and conservative toolchains. Shows concrete C++ techniques—small pin-abstraction libraries, templates instead of macros, and value-type objects optimized for cycles and memory—and how tests and instrumentation measure CPU/RAM to validate the system meets flight constraints.
