Better than that, static allocation. Embedded typically doesn't allow malloc anyway, so give me a platform that has the world's simplest MMU, static bounds checks that are put into write once read many memory upon boot. :-D
- elihu 6y agoI was thinking it terms of general purpose computing, but yeah, static-only allocation make a lot of sense in some contexts (embedded, some HPC workloads) and that would sidestep the usual overhead of the allocator.
