Programming an FPGA with Verilog looks a lot like programming. But it isn’t, at least not in the traditional sense. There have been several systems that aim to take C code and convert it into a ...

Separating interface from implementation has many practical benefits. Here’s a simple way to do just that, in ANSI-standard C code. How do you organize medium-sized or larger C programs? Few C ...

The language of choice for large, high-performance applications in Linux is almost always C, or somewhat less often C++. Both are powerful languages that allow you to create high-performance natively ...

PythoC lets you use Python as a C code generator, but with more features and flexibility than Cython provides. Here’s a first look at the new C code generator for Python. Python and C share more than ...

From our study of C++, it should be clear that, unlike class encapsulation and single inheritance, which were essentially free in C, polymorphism in C involves some complexity and overhead. In the ...

A superset of Python that compiles to C, Cython combines the ease of Python with the speed of native code. Here's a quick guide to making the most of Cython in your Python programs. Python has a ...
