I have seen the model break down while working in small, heterogenous teams. Work is assigned "automatically" to the person that will inevitably do the work, consequently team members refrain from judging work done by the speciali

There are tons of patents regarding implementation details and instruction set extensions. I don't think you could sell Athlon 64 or Pentium D clones to anyone.

Buying AMD to get rid of their only remaining x86 competitor would be worth a very high premium. I don't get what that licensing deal, with a manufacturer that is only allowed to sell in China, has to do with it.

It's definitely possible. I'm guessing based on cost/benefit. Here's an SDR R&D board from 2018 for "low bandwidth applications" using Spartan-6 FPGAS, ( https://artes.esa.int/projects/s

Commanding/(Re-)configuration is usually done through a separate S-Band transceiver that is part of the platform/bus, not the payload.

The part of the satellite being "software-defined" is probably the phased-array antennas of the transponder/payload. I think it is unlikely that all the GHz RF processing is realized as SDR. Maybe someone can dig up more info

I don't think that is true. If you base your understanding on an inaccurate representation, then you may later on run into problems trying to fit new information into your inaccurate thought-model. For example explaining electric circu

The rule you are referring to is a "required" (not a "mandatory") rule. You can deviate from it and still be MISRA-C compliant. People write deviations for all kinds of reasons. Here are some rationales for deviations:

That would be like a "first-fit-or-die" malloc, wouldn't it? Which mechanism to choose always depends on your (de-)allocation profile and available memory. If you can free out-of-order, the circular buffer will fragment quick

If you use modules with opaque pointers, the types are incomplete and therefore their size is not known outside of the module. You can either make the type visible (against the idea of opaque pointers), modify the module to allocate a fixed

Of course, but then we are back to memory pools.

by okl 8y ago
Freeing is usually easy (for free() and memory pool) because the pointer can be used to compute the index into the bool array or bitfield. Allocating is more difficult since you have to search. You can use a linear search that starts at the

It is quite possible (and it can be reasonable) to deviate from that rule. For example you could write a wrapper for malloc that only allows dynamic allocation in the initialization phase of your program. This can be useful to allocate memo

by okl 8y ago
That concept is called a memory pool or storage pool. Very useful, but their greatest disadvantage compared to malloc() is that you waste a lot of memory if your allocation size varies greatly (for example a network protocol where packet si
