It shows how to adopt languages like C++ while optimizing for binary size due to stringent hardware constraints, and trade off between runtime efficiency and binary size in architecture decisions.</p> <i>By Paulo Martinez</i> C++ Artifacts & Tools Hardware Embedded Devices Embedded Software Dev C Software Development Storage Culture & Methods Development article Fri, 16 May 2025 09:00:00 GMT https://www.infoq.com/articles/complex-applications-storage-constraints/?utm_campaign=infoq_content&utm_source=infoq&utm_medium=feed&utm_term=C-articles Paulo Martinez 2025-05-16T09:00:00Z /articles/complex-applications-storage-constraints/en
