Untitled
editThis article can be expanded to incorporate details about the named address spaces (especially example wise- in this case), fixed-point arithmetic, and I/O register access. The TR is quite detailed regarding all of these. snaphat (talk) 01:18, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
- Note: I didn't put this under programming languages for the same reason C99 and CX1 aren't. snaphat (talk) 01:20, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
Difference between C and Embedded C
editI don't really think this section make much sense and is wrong. For example is says that C is used for desktops, while Embedded C is used for microcontrollers. Embedded C may have extensions to C that help in the microcontroller relm, however normal C *can* be used on microcontrollers as well. Is it conflating programming with C in an embedded environment and the use of Embedded C?
There are a number of things that do not quite make sense here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.77.163.111 (talk) 14:31, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
Copy and Paste
editThe page is mostly copy-paste from http://www.engineersgarage.com/tutorials/emebedded-c-language since 20:02, 11 February 2014 Sadaf2605. Thomasa88 (talk) 17:41, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
- We also have a problem with http://oasisconsultingservices.in/embedded.aspx though that may be a case of them copying Wikipedia. ~Kvng (talk) 15:36, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
Necessity
editThe Necessity section contains a bunch of nonsense. It should clarify that embedded systems and their applications grew in size and writing code for them in assembly isn't as feasible anymore, therefore the need for Embedded C. Use of English language is poor with the misuse of "came up". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.9.75.252 (talk) 22:10, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
- To be honest, I think most of the article is nonsense. "Embedded C" as per the standard is just a bunch of extensions which might be useful for embedded programmers. Only some of the introductory section is valid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.77.163.111 (talk) 16:22, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
Advantages
editThe advantages listed are of C over assembler, not of Embedded C over C. I didn't learn anything about Embedded C and I was curious: I'd was unaware of a single language called Embedded C. I've seen lots of flavours of C that have been tweaked for specific CPUs e.g. the MCS-51 friendly ones that started with Keil in the 1990s. --ToaneeM (talk) 08:50, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
Change source
editMay anyone more knowledgable check https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/c/embedded or the report? http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=51126 is a nice summing up The article in this form sums up some nice points, but misses the topic of Embedded C specific details — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.129.202.39 (talk) 21:59, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
