mbeddr - an Extensible C-based Programming Language and IDE for Embedded Systems
While the C programming language provides very good support for writing
efficient, low-level code, it does not offer adequate means for defining
higher-level abstractions relevant to embedded software. In this paper we
present the mbeddr technology stack that supports extension of C with constructs
adequate for embedded systems. In mbeddr, efficient low-level programs can be
written using the well-known concepts from C. Higher-level domain-specific
abstractions can be seamlessly integrated into C by means of
modular language extension regarding syntax, type system, semantics and IDE. In
the paper we show how language extension can address the challenges of embedded
software development and report on our experience in building these extensions.
We show that language workbenches deliver on the promise of significantly
reducing the effort of language engineering and the construction of
corresponding IDEs. mbeddr is built on top of the JetBrains MPS language
workbench. Both MPS and mbeddr are open source software.
