  • C and C++ Preprocessor Directives #Include #Define Macros Inline
    MODULE 10 PREPROCESSOR DIRECTIVES My Training Period: hours Abilities ▪ Able to understand and use #include. ▪ Able to understand and use #define. ▪ Able to understand and use macros and inline functions. ▪ Able to understand and use the conditional compilation – #if, #endif, #ifdef, #else, #ifndef and #undef. ▪ Able to understand and use #error, #pragma, # and ## operators and #line. ▪ Able to display error messages during conditional compilation. ▪ Able to understand and use assertions. 10.1 Introduction - For C/C++ preprocessor, preprocessing occurs before a program is compiled. A complete process involved during the preprocessing, compiling and linking can be read in Module W. - Some possible actions are: ▪ Inclusion of other files in the file being compiled. ▪ Definition of symbolic constants and macros. ▪ Conditional compilation of program code or code segment. ▪ Conditional execution of preprocessor directives. - All preprocessor directives begin with #, and only white space characters may appear before a preprocessor directive on a line. 10.2 The #include Preprocessor Directive - The #include directive causes copy of a specified file to be included in place of the directive. The two forms of the #include directive are: //searches for header files and replaces this directive //with the entire contents of the header file here #include <header_file> - Or #include "header_file" e.g. #include <stdio.h> #include "myheader.h" - If the file name is enclosed in double quotes, the preprocessor searches in the same directory (local) as the source file being compiled for the file to be included, if not found then looks in the subdirectory associated with standard header files as specified using angle bracket. - This method is normally used to include user or programmer-defined header files.

  • Fortran 90 Overview
    1 Fortran 90 Overview J.E. Akin, Copyright 1998 This overview of Fortran 90 (F90) features is presented as a series of tables that illustrate the syntax and abilities of F90. Frequently comparisons are made to similar features in the C++ and F77 languages and to the Matlab environment. These tables show that F90 has significant improvements over F77 and matches or exceeds newer software capabilities found in C++ and Matlab for dynamic memory management, user defined data structures, matrix operations, operator definition and overloading, intrinsics for vector and parallel pro- cessors and the basic requirements for object-oriented programming. They are intended to serve as a condensed quick reference guide for programming in F90 and for understanding programs developed by others. List of Tables 1 Comment syntax . 4 2 Intrinsic data types of variables . 4 3 Arithmetic operators . 4 4 Relational operators (arithmetic and logical) . 5 5 Precedence pecking order . 5 6 Colon Operator Syntax and its Applications . 5 7 Mathematical functions . 6 8 Flow Control Statements . 7 9 Basic loop constructs . 7 10 IF Constructs . 8 11 Nested IF Constructs . 8 12 Logical IF-ELSE Constructs . 8 13 Logical IF-ELSE-IF Constructs . 8 14 Case Selection Constructs . 9 15 F90 Optional Logic Block Names . 9 16 GO TO Break-out of Nested Loops . 9 17 Skip a Single Loop Cycle . 10 18 Abort a Single Loop . 10 19 F90 DOs Named for Control . 10 20 Looping While a Condition is True . 11 21 Function definitions . 11 22 Arguments and return values of subprograms . 12 23 Defining and referring to global variables .

  • What Are the Problems with Embedded Linux?
    What Are the Problems with Embedded Linux? Every Operating System Has Benefits and Drawbacks Linux is ubiquitous. It runs most internet servers, is inside Android* smartphones, and is used on millions of embedded systems that, in the past, ran Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOSes). Linux can (and should) be used were possible for embedded projects, but while it gives you extreme choice, it also presents the risk of extreme complexity. What, then, are the trade-offs between embedded Linux and an RTOS? In this article, we cover some key considerations when evaluating Linux for a new development: ■ Design your system architecture first ■ What is Linux? ■ Linux vs. RTOSes ■ Free software is about liberty—not price ■ How much does Embedded Linux cost? ■ Why pay for Embedded Linux? ■ Should you buy Embedded Linux or roll-your-own (RYO)? ■ To fork or not to fork? ■ Software patching ■ Open source licensing ■ Making an informed decision The important thing is not whether Linux or an RTOS is “the best,” but whether either operating system—or both together—makes the most technical and financial sense for your project. We hope this article helps you make an informed decision. Design Your System Architecture First It is important to design your system architecture first—before choosing either Linux or an RTOS—because both choices can limit architectural freedom. You may discover that aspects of your design require neither Linux nor an RTOS, making your design a strong candidate for a heterogeneous approach that includes one or more bare-metal environments (with possibly a Linux and/or RTOS environment as well).

  • Quick Overview: Complex Numbers
    Quick Overview: Complex Numbers February 23, 2012 1 Initial Definitions Definition 1 The complex number z is defined as: z = a + bi (1) p where a, b are real numbers and i = −1. Remarks about the definition: • Engineers typically use j instead of i. • Examples of complex numbers: p 5 + 2i; 3 − 2i; 3; −5i • Powers of i: i2 = −1 i3 = −i i4 = 1 i5 = i i6 = −1 i7 = −i . • All real numbers are also complex (by taking b = 0). 2 Visualizing Complex Numbers A complex number is defined by it's two real numbers. If we have z = a + bi, then: Definition 2 The real part of a + bi is a, Re(z) = Re(a + bi) = a The imaginary part of a + bi is b, Im(z) = Im(a + bi) = b 1 Im(z) 4i 3i z = a + bi 2i r b 1i θ Re(z) a −1i Figure 1: Visualizing z = a + bi in the complex plane. Shown are the modulus (or length) r and the argument (or angle) θ. To visualize a complex number, we use the complex plane C, where the horizontal (or x-) axis is for the real part, and the vertical axis is for the imaginary part. That is, a + bi is plotted as the point (a; b). In Figure 1, we can see that it is also possible to represent the point a + bi, or (a; b) in polar form, by computing its modulus (or size), and angle (or argument): p r = jzj = a2 + b2 θ = arg(z) We have to be a bit careful defining φ, since there are many ways to write φ (and we could add multiples of 2π as well).

  • Guide to C Files and H Files by Jacob “Bob” Egner Introduction This
    Guide To C Files And H Files by Jacob “Bob” Egner Introduction This document explains the philosophy of C and H files, and what to put in each file type. At times, I'll stray from the main topic to talk about C compilation in general. The more you understand about C compilation, the less trouble you'll have getting your programs to compile and work. Along with this document, you should also have the files heap.h, heap.c, and heap_test.c. This project can be found in the starter files section of the web site. heap.c and heap.h make up a “module” that implements a memory heap. heap_test.c uses the heap module. I wrote these files to be examples for this document, bring dynamic memory management to the 9S12, and mostly for fun. Please glance over these files before proceeding. The project can be found in the “Starter files” section of the course web site. Why Do We Have H Files? One key thing in understanding C and H files is that declaration and definition are two different things. A declaration tells the compiler that something exists and what kind of beast it is. A definition tells the compiler what it is. A function declaration tells the name of a function, what arguments it takes and what it returns. A function definition also has all that and the code that implements the function. A variable declaration tells the type of a variable. A variable definition tells the type and actually allocates space for the variable.

  • Overview of LLVM Architecture of LLVM
    Overview of LLVM Architecture of LLVM Front-end: high-level programming language => LLVM IR Optimizer: optimize/analyze/secure the program in the IR form Back-end: LLVM IR => machine code Optimizer The optimizer’s job: analyze/optimize/secure programs. Optimizations are implemented as passes that traverse some portion of a program to either collect information or transform the program. A pass is an operation on a unit of IR code. Pass is an important concept in LLVM. LLVM IR - A low-level strongly-typed language-independent, SSA-based representation. - Tailored for static analyses and optimization purposes. Part 1 Part 1 has two kinds of passes: - Analysis pass (section 1): only analyze code statically - Transformation pass (section 2 & 3): insert code into the program Analysis pass (Section 1) Void foo (uint32_t int, uint32_t * p) { LLVM IR ...

  • IEEE Standard 754 for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic
    Work in Progress: Lecture Notes on the Status of IEEE 754 October 1, 1997 3:36 am Lecture Notes on the Status of IEEE Standard 754 for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic Prof. W. Kahan Elect. Eng. & Computer Science University of California Berkeley CA 94720-1776 Introduction: Twenty years ago anarchy threatened floating-point arithmetic. Over a dozen commercially significant arithmetics boasted diverse wordsizes, precisions, rounding procedures and over/underflow behaviors, and more were in the works. “Portable” software intended to reconcile that numerical diversity had become unbearably costly to develop. Thirteen years ago, when IEEE 754 became official, major microprocessor manufacturers had already adopted it despite the challenge it posed to implementors. With unprecedented altruism, hardware designers had risen to its challenge in the belief that they would ease and encourage a vast burgeoning of numerical software. They did succeed to a considerable extent. Anyway, rounding anomalies that preoccupied all of us in the 1970s afflict only CRAY X-MPs — J90s now. Now atrophy threatens features of IEEE 754 caught in a vicious circle: Those features lack support in programming languages and compilers, so those features are mishandled and/or practically unusable, so those features are little known and less in demand, and so those features lack support in programming languages and compilers. To help break that circle, those features are discussed in these notes under the following headings: Representable Numbers, Normal and Subnormal, Infinite
