Hi, Embedded systems are often safety-critical and are often coded in unsafe languages such as C. Unfortunately, C and C++ are prone to undefined behavior, which can have serious negative consequences. The following paper, written with guidance from a language standards committee member, explains the problem and describes easy yet effective preventive measures: PDF: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__dl.acm.org_doi_pdf_10.1145_3466132.3468263&d=DwIBAg&c=kbmfwr1Yojg42sGEpaQh5ofMHBeTl9EI2eaqQZhHbOU&r=fIFA8FqS2_0Xeohzx4K1yW0aLTqnbLt5Y4M4BaC7uGE&m=5j31knmzTvUrIahy9Gl81dXsigVev6hhET6KYXzffZw&s=D5xOcNtbBvYJMzbQH0F2_qMqYCeO8yzHS6rAVP7OHKA&e= HTML: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__queue.acm.org_detail.cfm-3Fid-3D3468263&d=DwIBAg&c=kbmfwr1Yojg42sGEpaQh5ofMHBeTl9EI2eaqQZhHbOU&r=fIFA8FqS2_0Xeohzx4K1yW0aLTqnbLt5Y4M4BaC7uGE&m=5j31knmzTvUrIahy9Gl81dXsigVev6hhET6KYXzffZw&s=3istv5YQ6GU15kZBu7KjLvKV_a6hBU65ibkXr4DYSQc&e=

Schrödinger's Code - Undefined behavior in theory and practice

Hi,

Embedded systems are often safety-critical and are often coded in unsafe
languages such as C. Unfortunately, C and C++ are prone to undefined
behavior, which can have serious negative consequences.

The following paper, written with guidance from a language standards
committee member, explains the problem and describes easy yet effective
preventive measures:
