I know your embedded world is different. However, every embedded
systems do need a compiler and an operating system. This Question
falls under these two sections of embedded systems. Are not there any
better way to generate code, why does it fail or take longer when
compiling huge function like here main()? How long your embedded OS
take to compile this. If fails, how can you fix it? Think over it
before questioning others.
