Does it ever make sense to declare a variable in C or C++ as both volatile (in other words, “ever-changing”) and const (“read-only”)? If so, why? And how should you combine volatile and const properly ...

DeepCode, the cloud service that uses machine learning to analyze codebases for security flaws and potential bugs, can now analyze C and C++ code. Trained by analyzing thousands of open source ...

Part 1 looks at the basic problems of translating MATLAB to C. Part 3 examines the verification process and makes the case for automatic C generation. It will be published Thursday, December 13. In ...

A common use case for high-level synthesis (HLS) is taking 3rd party generated or legacy C/C++ algorithms and converting the algorithm to a hardware implementation using an HLS compiler. This can ...
