A Step-by-Step Approach to Qualifying Standard Libraries with a Suitable Software Tool
Remain flexible and in control Are you looking for a solution to qualify standard libraries? The most important thing is getting the right software tool to ensure you remain flexible and in control. Why Library Qualification is...
The Advantages of Open-Source Compilers in Safety-Critical Systems
Choosing a C or C++ compiler for safety-critical application development can be challenging. You may be torn between a compiler that is already qualified or an open-source compiler that still needs to be qualified. While already...
Let’s talk about the tuple header: Construction and Conversion Complexities
The tuple is one of the most versatile and powerful data structures in C++, allowing you to combine related data without declaring a full-blown class – for example, x-y coordinates, name-address records, or the properties of a...
Support the latest chip designs with a compiler of the highest quality
With the emergence of new and customizable instruction set architectures like RISC-V, compiler developers face the challenge of keeping up with the latest chip designs by developing new compiler backends with code generators that...
Black box or white box? That is the question.
During our most recent webinar, SuperTest Live Demo, one of the audience members asked whether SuperTest and SuperGuard are suitable for ‘white-box’ testing in addition to their typical role as ‘black-box’ testing platforms for C and...
Compiler qualification: Do you know where to start?
Does your software development environment need to be fully compliant with functional safety standards such as ISO 26262, IEC 61508, EN 50128, EN 50716, or IEC 62304? With software now core to functional safety in an increasing...
Discover the ingredients of SuperGuard
SuperGuard is used to qualify and certify C and C++ standard libraries. It is a requirements-based test suite that provides evidence that a library implementation correctly implements its specification - a key part of the safety...
Artificial Intelligence has a mind of its own
While the dream of fully autonomous driving appears to have taken a back seat, other automotive applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have become increasingly sophisticated. For example, AI now plays an ever-greater role in...
Open-source compilers are great, but use with care
The GCC and LLVM communities continually perform a remarkable feat by implementing compiler behavior in accordance with the complexities of the C++ Standard. But does that mean developers can blindly trust these two open-source...
Compiler Exploring: Safety and Modernity
As compiler and library testers, we often find ourselves between the demands of developers and those of the functional safety industry. On the one hand, compiler developers are constantly pushing to implement the latest and greatest...
