ABSTRACT

All real-time embedded software projects eventually hit the wall when they trade elegance for efficiency. The major recipient of the blame is often 'that darn tasking' or 'those silly OO concepts'. The actual culprit, unknowingly, is the front line software engineer. This paper is a group of test cases that can be applied to compiler to give direction to the developers as to the performance of the compiler.
