Quick Reference
Embedded C++: RAII for resource management. No dynamic allocation in critical paths. ISRs must be short - defer work to tasks. FreeRTOS: use queues for ISR-to-task communication. Prefer static allocation. constexpr for compile-time computation. volatile only for hardware registers.
Use When
- Developing firmware for microcontrollers
- Building FreeRTOS applications
- Writing interrupt service routines
- Optimizing for memory-constrained systems
Skip When
- Desktop or server applications
- Systems with abundant memory
- Non-real-time requirements
