Units of Measurements for Safe C++ Variables

Posted on 2019-07-11— C++, Improve your Code, Learn

I show how I avoid unit mistakes in C++ by creating a templated Duration type and user-defined literals like 100_ms. I explain declaring Seconds/Milliseconds/Nanoseconds, adding conversions, and how the compiler catches unit mismatches with no runtime cost. Read the full article for code examples and the GitHub repo.

I compare implementing a singleton as a class or as a module/namespace for Arduino firmware using simple LED driver examples and compiler measurements. I cover size, initialization and runtime trade-offs and explain when each approach makes sense. Read the full post for code, disassembly and practical recommendations.
