Introduction to Template Metaprogramming in C Language

Introduction to Template Metaprogramming in C Language

Introduction to Template Metaprogramming in C Language Template metaprogramming is a technique that combines programming with type systems, allowing computations to be performed at compile time. This approach can make programs more flexible and efficient. In C language, although there is no direct template mechanism, we can use macros and some techniques to achieve similar … Read more

Detailed Explanation of C++ Macros: Basics, Usage, and Precautions

Detailed Explanation of C++ Macros: Basics, Usage, and Precautions

In C++ programming, a macro is a text replacement tool processed by the preprocessor, implemented through the <span>#define</span> directive. While macros can be very useful in certain scenarios, they are also controversial due to their potential side effects. This article will cover the basic syntax, common uses, drawbacks, and modern alternatives to help developers use … Read more

Basics of Makefile in C Compilation

Basics of Makefile in C Compilation

When compiling a large project, there are often many target files, library files, header files, and the final executable file. There are dependencies between different files. For example, when we compile using the following commands: $gcc -c -o test.o test.c $gcc -o helloworld test.o The executable file helloworld depends on test.o for compilation, while test.o … Read more

Common Uses of Preprocessor Directives in Embedded Software

Many excellent codes utilize preprocessor directives to enhance their functionality. Today, we will discuss the content related to preprocessor directives. The common preprocessing directives are as follows: # directive, has no effect #include includes a source code file #define defines a macro #undef undefines a macro #if if the given condition is true, compile the … Read more

How to Add Built-in Macros to riscv-gcc

The riscv-gcc tool includes some built-in macro parameters. We can use these built-in macros to determine the behavior of the compiler. 1. Viewing GCC Built-in Macro Parameters Here, we take the riscv-nuclei-elf-gcc toolchain released by Chipone Technology as an example. Using the following command, we can get the built-in macro parameters of this tool: riscv-nuclei-elf-gcc … Read more
