Memory as a Programming Concept in C and C++ Frantisek Franek
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

C++ is the third most popular programming language, behind C and Java. We've been doing concurrent programming for some time using pthreads, using windows threads, and so on and I'm so happy that C++ and C caught up with concurrent programming, but it seems to me like it's already behind Now I'm quite new to these concepts and I'm a little confused. Thus, in a multicore system processes can be run on separate CPUs with no issues, but threads would need to coordinate with eachother when accessing shared data/memory. Widely used for both systems and applications development, the C and C++ programming languages are available for virtually every operating system and are often the best choice for performance-critical applications. Someone else would emphasize on different aspects of C. Object Oriented Programming Concepts (with a C++ Flavour). Systems and embedded systems programmers would need to master memory allocation, pointers, interaction with OS etc. Write parallel programs using a simple model: With only three keywords to learn, C and C++ developers move quickly into the parallel programming domain. With all of the additions, though, C++ has a little more overhead in terms of things like memory usage and file size. And I think EVERY programmer should have used a language that requires you to allocate and free memory (it is much easier now with the latest C++ standard and stuff like smart pointers but you still need to understand how new and delete work in order If you have been programming in Java, Scala, Ruby or Python for the last decade and never touched C or C++, now with C++11 I think it is time to learn C++11 and improve your programming skills while doing so. A comparison of the two This method of program design adopts concepts such as structured programming and modularity, so that it is possible to write complex programs. Now I can guess the program must have been written in a language where programmer had to do memory management himself. Since it is a LED-Box, it must be a C or C++ prgram in embedded environment. Now it has to be said that "with great power comes great responsibility" and if you use Unsafe it is effectively the same as programming in C, and with that can come memory access violations when you get offsets wrong.
