 		 #160696 - True understanding
Responding to: ???'s previous message
In the embedded world, you are expected to know rougly what code the C compiler will produce for a specific set of source lines. On a PC, this doesn't matter so much (yes, it still matter) but two C lines that may look very similar can have a speed difference of 100 or more, and/or may include a very large set of support functions from the library.

On a PC, most of the big support functions are shared between all running programs. This despite the PC having 1000 times as much memory - or probably even more.

Some people write code for an infinitely fast and infinitely large virtual machine. Such coding for an embedded product normally results in a huge failure down the road.
