Abstract
This paper presents a transformative code generation technique for the static optimization and customization of embedded software. The approach supports the development of product families by separating core functionality from variable facets. The implementation technique utilizes generative programming techniques in order to minimize runtime memory requirements and maximize performance within an embedded environment.
