in a constrained environment

for my fellow geeks in the world of 0s and 1s, these are some of the things that i find interesting when doing programming in a constrained environment:

①　consider allocating memory dynamically instead of on the stack.
don't forget to free what you allocated!

②　a smashed stack is a very difficult problem to debug! be sure to keep your stack size below 500 bytes.

③　reduce call depths. (remember your 500-byte stack!)

④　consider allocating an INT to hold the length of a character string, instead of making repeated calls to STRLEN().
maybe most of you are already familiar with this, it's true in any kind of platform, i think.

⑤　if your class needs to read or write data, consider using a binary instead of text format.

⑥ data services has a lower priority than other applications that run at UI priority.

there you go!
