- How the compiler handles switch/case statement in case of short enumeration (0,1,2,3) and bit masks 0x10, 0x100, 0x1000?
- What is better for copying the structures - use assignment or call to memcpy?
- Is there any difference between inline function and macro in the TI compilation toolchain?
- What is the best way to implement 64 bits arithmetic in Cortex?
- Does it help performance wise to pad the two dimensional array so that the array size is power of 2?
- Branch prediction introduction and ways to leverage branch prediction in the C code.
