Embedded Nom - A Case Study of Memory Safe Parsing in Resource Constrained Environments

Explore a case study on memory-safe parsing in resource-constrained environments through this IEEE conference talk. Delve into the implementation of Embedded Nom, a modified version of the Nom parser combinator framework, for efficient and safe parsing of complex structured data on embedded platforms. Learn how to integrate these parsers with existing C codebases, enabling gradual migration to memory-safe languages in economically challenging scenarios. Discover the challenges and solutions in hardware, Rust abstractions, memory allocation, and compiler optimizations for embedded systems. Gain insights into practical demonstrations and conclusions drawn from this innovative approach to parsing in constrained environments.
