Loop Unrolling

Submitted by Walter Banks on Thu, 2008-04-24 14:01.

This is the start of an interesting discussion on loop unrolling as a compiler optimization. I summed up our thinking on it:

Application code usually was very clear and almost always right
in their timing choice of straight line vs loop implementation. Rolling
up straight line code and unrolling loops more often than not
interfered with a conscience choice a developer made.

CERT C Secure Coding Standard - last call for reviewers

Submitted by Walter Banks on Thu, 2008-03-20 15:22.

We're reprinting a call for the C community to review the current version of the CERT C Secure Coding Standard. Secure coding is the practice of avoiding security exploits through more rigorous control of the sources, methods, and products of compilation.

CERT's wiki has a lot of well-thought-out information in it.

C6808 FAE

C6808 is Flexis-able

|

FAEs who are planning to introduce their clients to the MC9S08QE128 Flexis part should contact fae@bytecraft.com for more information about our support.

Flexis' paged memory model can benefit from a compiler's calculations. Optimization during linking allows a compiler to distinguish between different types of cross-page references.
