Webinar Overview:

Casting is a conversion process through which data can be changed from one type to another. In C++, type-casting is the source of errors and misconceptions. Whereas some casting is essential for certain aspects of embedded coding, it is often misused.

In this webinar:

David C Black will introduce and explain the types of casting, how they are used badly and then illustrate the proper use of casting and alternatives.

He will cover:

Problems solved and caused with casts
Types of casts
Good and bad examples
The ugly truth
Some alternative options...

The webinar will conclude with a worked example by Marc Thomas of IAR, using the IAR Embedded Workbench.

David C Black - Senior Member Technical Staff - will be presenting this training webinar, which will consist of a one-hour session (see below for details) and be interactive with Q&A participation from attendees.

Dr. Marc Thomas - Senior Field Application Engineer of IAR - will present a worked example of C++ Casting using the IAR Embedded Workbench.
