> Now, when programming for embedded environments Something that a lot of C programmers do... Most people who write for typical desktop and mobile computers don't do C. They tend to do C++ or other, higher level languages. Those who write C tend to do either quirky embedded code, or code that is highly portable, in both cases, knowing about such undefined or implementation defined behavior is important. If you intend on relying on such assumptions, make it explicit, for example using padding, stdint, etc... On typical targets like clang and gcc on Linux, it won't change the generated code, but it will make it less likely to break on quirky compilers. Plus, it is more readable. |
