Safety critical software (or even mission critical software) should not be using dynamic allocation for a few reasons. - Fragmentation. - Non-deterministic runtime (in the real-time cases). - Insufficient analysis of worst-case conditions (i.e. you haven't worked out what your worst case RAM usage is, otherwise you would have statically allocated it). IMO, the worst is the final case as it shows a lack of thoroughness in the design as a whole and brings the rest of the code into suspicion.
Fragmentation can be worked around, but not the others. |
