Nope. I do embedded C/C++ and what you can read above. I occasionally do some tooling for desktop or low level APIs. But I know what ides are capable of. Dont make the mistake of thinking you are better than others, otherwise you’ll ke

It seems we don’t go on vacation to the same places. There is no need for ssh’ing or recompiling. For embedded I just give a bin file with everything in it. Use your favorite flashing tool. For the rest, I can make an installer right from t

Parent gave two "big libs" as an example (was it a "worst case"?), I choose the one I used the other day and I remember how I used it. I also remember that I took the "hard" path on Linux and rebuilt ffmpeg, bu

You have to do a lot of things. I don't envy you at all! I work mostly in IDEs and won't use the clunky command line if I have an alternative. After all, it's the year 2022. Why working like it's 1991? I don't want

It's truly interestering. We considered it, and we didn't like it. It seems something born to be "vendor lock-in" plus the fact that it looks super volatile (a bad combination). We are sure that our current EDA tools wil

But the problem is not the book itself. It's what you are looking for. If you are just starting into any given topic, then you just need a good book, not the perfect book. And the advice parent gave you I think is more than enough

Yeah, I know I was being dismissive. Sorry. But I feel and understand the pain, too. I know if I have to make a safe function that can operate over any kind of data then I would have to accept a void* (or uint8_t*) and a size, and trust

Embedded doesn't mean "small programs that fit in a head". Some projects I maintain are tens of thousands LoC. Modern microcontrollers are being built with 1 or 2 MB of flash (where a full exFAT FS plus an SDXC driver fits in

This is the perfect example. For instance, I don't need Traits or Async or generics for embedded. I can pass a struct into functions as I've been doing my whole life. Async is not supported (but I can generate my own interrupt-dri

As a longtime embedded C developer (20 years) I always look forward to truly learn Rust someday. But unfortunately I don't have much time now to learn it. And I'm in a kind-of hate-love relationship with Rust at the moment. The sa

This is really nice tip. AFAIK, sync works on Linux only since it needs $ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT . The problem is that I develop on a Windows machine (vscode with ssh extension) and my source code is on remote Linux machines (in premises), d

Let's see what (and how it) lands in C2x. Of course, as any other language, C might be taken over in the future by a new generation and be bloated , too. But so far, it is contained. In any case, nobody can deny the amount of bloat
