Using C Language Extensions for Developing Embedded Software: A Case Study
Fri 30 Oct 2015 10:30 - 10:52 at Grand Station 2 - 10. Empirical Studies & Approximation Chair(s): John Field
We report on an industrial case study on developing the embedded software for a smart meter using the C programming language and domain-specific extensions of C such as components, physical units, state machines, registers and interrupts. We find that the extensions help significantly with managing the complexity of the software. They improve testability mainly by supporting hardware-independent testing, as illustrated by low integration efforts. The extensions also do not incur significant overhead regarding memory consumption and performance. Our case study relies on mbeddr, an extensible version of C. mbeddr, in turn, builds on the MPS language workbench which supports modular extension of languages and IDEs.
