the name "embedded systems" has many meanings This is very true! In some cases, the "embedded system" is actually a PC! The main advantage of dynamic allocation is that you don't have to know at build-time how much memory will be available at run-time. This is great for "general purpose" applications running on "general purpose" platforms - where it is nearly impossible to know in advance how much memory will be available at any particular time. But embedded systems (even large ones) are much more likely to have a known and fixed configuration. This removes the key advantage of dynamic allocation, while still leaving all the risks & overheads - which is why it is generally best avoided in embedded systems. Yes, of course it is a generalisation - there will be exceptions! |
