Webinar Overview:

Casting is a conversion process through which data can be changed from one type to another. In C++, type-casting is the source of errors and misconceptions. Whereas some casting is essential for certain aspects of embedded coding, it is often misused. 

In this webinar:

David C Black will introduce and explain the types of casting, how they are used badly and then illustrate the proper use of casting and alternatives.

He will cover:

  •  Problems solved and caused with casts
  •  Types of casts
  •  Good and bad examples
  •  The ugly truth
  •  Some alternative options...

The webinar will conclude with a worked example by Marc Thomas of IAR, using the IAR Embedded Workbench in a Renesas RA Series project.
