Question & Answer


Question

What is CExtreme Code Generator in IBM Rational SDL Suite?

Answer

CExtreme is a new C Code generator introduced in Rational SDL Suite 6.1.

The CExtreme Code Generator is a SDL to C compiler with many advanced features.

  • It generates code with a small memory footprint, which often can be made even smaller by applying some of the many optimization available.
  • The CExtreme Code Generator is intended to be used to develop applications on embedded systems. It is of course possible to use it for other types of applications as well, but its features are designed to be used when developing embedded systems.

The CExtreme Code Generator can generate applications in two modes, Light and Threaded.
  • The Light integration creates a single-threaded application to be executed on a standard environment.
  • The Threaded integration gives the user control over how many threads that should be created, what they should execute and more.

The CExtreme Code Generator generates code that has few macros and is easy to read and understand.
