Performance Notes
Deterministic execution is critical for real-time systems
Optimize memory and processor usage due to hardware constraints
Efficient array and record handling improves runtime
Macros can reduce code duplication and improve performance
Legacy compilers may require hardware-specific optimization
Security Notes
Strong typing reduces runtime errors
Memory-safe programming is critical for embedded systems
Hardware interactions must be validated
Macros and system calls should be carefully controlled
Real-time constraints must not be violated
Monitoring Analytics
Profile execution time for deterministic behavior
Log embedded I/O events
Check macro expansions for correctness
Monitor memory usage in real-time systems
Validate procedure call sequences
Code Quality
Structured procedural design
Clear documentation for maintainability
Type safety and fixed-point correctness
Unit tests for critical embedded routines
Avoid hardware-dependent hardcoding
