I would be very surprised if embedded missile guidance software actually used dynamic memory allocation. It would most likely use static data.

- vardump 9y agoEmbedded dev here. I concur. I've heard this story a number of times, and it smells like a myth. Well, maybe terrain recognition navigation system might need to allocate memory. Or perhaps a data link for processing commands. But probably not. Funny, though.
- bb88 9y agoThere's usually more than one processor on a missile, and he didn't say it was missile guidance software. Could be video feed, etc.
