These rules have been floating around for a while, and the odds are good that you’ve heard someone mention them. Even they’re they’re nominally related to safety critical software, they are excellent rules to follow for general embedded systems development. Here are the 10 rules: Restrict to simple control flow constructs. Give all loops a fixed upper-bound. Do not use dynamic memory allocation after …
