Bruce Eckel's MindView, Inc: Thinking in C++ 2nd Edition by Bruce Eckel. Data Structures and Algorithms with Object-Oriented Design Patterns in C++ Optimizing C and C++ Code. Embedded software often runs on processors with limited computation power, thus optimizing the code becomes a necessity.
In this article we will explore the following optimization techniques for C and C++ code developed for Real-time and Embedded Systems. Many techniques discussed here have roots in the material we covered in the articles dealing with C to Assembly translation.
