...An easier alternative to preemptive programming and frameworks like FreeRTOS. You mostly do not need to worry about pitfalls of concurrent processing (races, deadlocks, livelocks, resource sharing, etc.). The fact of cooperative processing takes care of such issues by design.

...In particular, it's often a dependency of Facebook's other open source C++ efforts and place where those projects can share code. It complements (as opposed to competing against) offerings such as Boost and of course std. In fact, we embark on defining our own component only when something we need is either not available, or does not meet the needed performance profile. We endeavor to remove things from folly if or when std or Boost obsoletes them. Performance concerns permeate much of Folly, sometimes leading to designs that are more idiosyncratic than they would otherwise be (see e.g. ...

Many small embedded systems exist to collect data from sensors, analyze the data, and either take appropriate action or send that sensor data to another system for processing. One of the many challenges of embedded systems design is the fact that parts you used today may be out of production tomorrow, or system requirements may change and you may need to choose a different sensor down the road. Creating new drivers is a relatively easy task, but integrating them into existing systems is both error-prone and time-consuming since sensors rarely use the exact same units of measurement. ...

...Obviously, if you are relying on over/underflow behaviour, it won't work, XInt does not overflow! It will underflow but in a controlled fashion and you can specify how it behaves. XInt stands for eXtended Integer. In fact, they are extended in two directions - l and r. The l extension is the fact that they do not have a size limit (except for available memory) and the r extension is that they have decimal places (also unlimited). A large part of math.h has been overloaded for XInt and the rest will follow. The functions that have not been overloaded (sin etc.) can still be accessed as there are conversion operators to and from long double.
