  • Cheat Sheets of the C Standard Library
    Cheat Sheets of the C standard library Version 1.06 Last updated: 2012-11-28 About This document is a set of quick reference sheets (or ‘cheat sheets’) of the ANSI C standard library. It contains function and macro declarations in every header of the library, as well as notes about their usage. This document covers C++, but does not cover the C99 or C11 standard. A few non-ANSI-standard functions, if they are interesting enough, are also included. Style used in this document Function names, prototypes and their parameters are in monospace. Remarks of functions and parameters are marked italic and enclosed in ‘/*’ and ‘*/’ like C comments. Data types, whether they are built-in types or provided by the C standard library, are also marked in monospace. Types of parameters and return types are in bold. Type modifiers, like ‘const’ and ‘unsigned’, have smaller font sizes in order to save space. Macro constants are marked using proportional typeface, uppercase, and no italics, LIKE_THIS_ONE. One exception is L_tmpnum, which is the constant that uses lowercase letters. Example: int system ( const char * command ); /* system: The value returned depends on the running environment. Usually 0 when executing successfully. If command == NULL, system returns whether the command processor exists (0 if not). */ License Copyright © 2011 Kang-Che “Explorer” Sung (宋岡哲 <explorer09 @ gmail.com>) This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ .

  • Realtime Capabilities of Low-End Powerpc and ARM Boards for Embedded Systems
    Realtime capabilities of low-end PowerPC and ARM boards for embedded systems Alexander Bauer PHYTEC Messtechnik Gmbh Robert-Koch-Str.39, 55129 Mainz, Germany [email protected] Abstract With the stepwise integration of the Realtime Preemption Patches (RT-Preempt) into the Mainline Linux kernel and their support for architectures other than Intel and AMD, there are now a number of choices which board to use for a particular embedded realtime project running Mainline Linux. In order to select the appropriate processor and clock frequency, it would be desirable to have some generally applicable ranges of worst-case latencies that can be obtained using the various processor types and conditions. We, therefore, determined the internal worst-case latency of PowerPC and ARM boards running Linux 2.6.20 and above patched with RT-Preempt. The PowerPC-board (Phytec phyCORE-MPC5200B) was running at 266 and 400 MHz, the ARM board (Phytec phyCORE-PXA270) was running at 266 and 520 MHz. This article will provide the details of the various measurement set-ups, present the results and discuss them with respect to the design differences between PowerPC and ARM. 1 Introduction This paper presents the results of the latency tests and discusses the results with respect of the different In the embedded market there is a wide range of processor designs. processors to choose from. A processor is typically selected for a customer design because of it features, e.g. video interface and peripherals, and the clock 2 Latency Tests frequency. With the growing importance of Linux and especially realtime Linux for customer designs For the latency tests based on MPC5200 we used in the embedded market, it is also essential to choose the PHYTEC phyCORE MPC5200 board with 400 the right processor that will cope with the realtime MHz as a reference platform.

    Making compiler tests based on compiler source code coverage Jelle Witsen Elias [email protected] January 19, 2021, 33 pages Academic supervisor: Clemens Grelck, [email protected] Daily supervisors: Jos´eLuis March Cabrelles, [email protected] Remi van Veen, [email protected] Host organisation: Solid Sands, www.solidsands.nl Universiteit van Amsterdam Faculteit der Natuurwetenschappen, Wiskunde en Informatica Master Software Engineering http://www.software-engineering-amsterdam.nl Abstract Compilers are important elements in software infrastructure. It is therefore important that these complex pieces of software are tested. We found a way of making C compiler tests that is different from the usual approach of doing this. With our new process we base new tests on their coverage of compiler source code, instead of constructing them by solely looking at the rules defined in language standards. This way, we manage to make tests with constructions that were overlooked when building our existing compiler test suites. We built a tool that takes source code of a C application as input, along with a C compiler test suite. The tool outputs pieces of code which, when compiled, cover parts of compiler source code that the test suite does not yet cover. With this output, we can construct new tests for inclusion in our existing test suite. Our process is as follows: we take an open source C application and compile its sources with an open source compiler. This compiler has been instrumented to enable source code coverage analysis. After compilation, we compare the coverage of compiler source code of the application with coverage of our existing test suites.

  • Compiling C++ Files & Declarations and Definitions
    Compiling C++ files Compiling C++ files 143 Compiling C++ files Hello World 2.0 Hello World 2.0 In C++ the code is usually separated into header files (.h/.hpp) and implementation files (.cpp/.cc): sayhello.hpp #include <string> void sayhello(const std::string& name); sayhello.cpp #include "sayhello.hpp" #include <iostream> void sayhello(const std::string& name){ std::cout << "Hello " << name << '!' << std::endl; } Other code that wants to use this function only has to include sayhello.hpp. 144 Compiling C++ files Compiler Compiler Reminder: Internally, the compiler is divided into Preprocessor, Compiler, and Linker. Preprocessor: • Takes an input file of (almost) any programming language • Handles all preprocessor directives (i.e., all lines starting with #) and macros • Outputs the file without any preprocessor directives or macros Compiler: • Takes a preprocessed C++ (or C) file, called translation unit • Generates and optimizes the machine code • Outputs an object file Linker: • Takes multiple object files • Can also take references to other libraries • Finds the address of all symbols (e.g., functions, global variables) • Outputs an executable file or a shared library 145 Compiling C++ files Compiler Preprocessor Most common preprocessor directives: • #include: Copies (!) the contents of a file into the current file // include system file iostream: #include <iostream> // include regular file myfile.hpp: #include "myfile.hpp" • #define: Defines a macro #define FOO // defines the macro FOO with no content #define BAR 1 // defines the macro BAR as 1 • #ifdef/#ifndef/#else/#endif: Removes all code up to the next #else/#endif if a macro is set (#ifdef) or not set (#ifndef) #ifdef FOO ..
