| Abstract | The use of a managed, type-safe languages such as Java in real-time and embedded systems can offer productivity and, in partic-ular, safety and dependability benefits over the dominating unsafe languages at reasonable costs. A JVM that has dynamic memory-management needs to provide an implicit memory-management strategy, that is, for example, a garbage collector (GC) or stack al-location provided by the escape analysis of the JVM’s compiler: Explicit management of dynamically allocated memory (i.e., by use of functions such as C’s malloc() and free()) is vulnerable to programming errors such as neglected or false memory release operations causing memory leaks or dangling pointers. Such opera-tions have the potential to break the soundness of the type system and are therefore usually not available for strongly typed languages. Type-safe languages in combination with static analyses – which |
