IAR Systems has launched an embedded C++ compiler for Atmel's 8-bit AVR microcontroller. The EC++ compiler is a component in the IAR Embedded Workbench. Features of the compiler include the ability to allocate a number of registers to the developer instead of the compiler, making it more efficient when switching context in an RTOS. A set of new keywords to extend the C/EC++ language has also been introduced, such as the "_eeprom" keyword to gain direct access to the EEPROM memory from C/EC++. The stack sizes and addresses to external memory can also be specified within the IAR Embedded Workbench.

Polyspace has announced a software verification and validation tool that automatically evaluates every program execution case to identify code that is incorrect. The C Verifier requires only correct compilation, not modification or execution of the source code. C Verifier detects an attempt to read a noninitialized variable; access conflicts for unprotected shared data; referencing through null or out-of-bounds pointers; out-of-bounds array access; buffer overflow; division by zero; invalid arithmetic operations; overflow and underflow of arithmetic operations for integers and floating-point numbers; unreachable code; and illegal type conversion. The software program runs on personal computers under Linux and on Sun workstations under Solaris.
