μC/OS-II Goals
Probably the most important goal of μC/OS-II was to make it backward compatible with μC/OS (at least from an
application’s standpoint). A μC/OS port might need to be modified to work with μC/OS-II but at least, the application
code should require only minor changes (if any). Also, because μC/OS-II is based on the same core as μC/OS, it is just
as reliable. I added conditional compilation to allow you to further reduce the amount of RAM (i.e. data space) needed
by μC/OS-II. This is especially useful when you have resource limited products. I also added the feature described in
the previous section and cleaned up the code.
Where the book is concerned, I wanted to clarify some of the concepts described in the first edition and provide
additional explanations about how μC/OS-II works. I had numerous requests about doing a chapter on how to port
μC/OS and thus, such a chapter has been included in this book for μC/OS-II.
Artistic Style is a reindenter and reformatter of C, C++, C# and Java source code.
When indenting source code, we as programmers have a tendency to use both spaces and tab characters to create the wanted indentation. Moreover, some editors by default insert spaces instead of tabs when pressing the tab key, and other editors (Emacs for example) have the ability to "pretty up" lines by automatically setting up the white space before the code on the line, possibly inserting spaces in a code that up to now used only tabs for indentation.
The C++ Client Edition contains a full set of C++ class libraries, with client side source code for comprehensive Internet and Intranet application development and enablement. Designed specifically for Visual C++ developers, this kit has the power and flexibility that you demand
