SyncCharts in C
Reinhard von Hanxleden · 2009
SyncCharts in C (SC) extends C with control flow operators for deterministic, light-weight concurrency and preemption. SC is based on SyncCharts, a synchronous variant of Statecharts with a sound formal basis. SC implements concurrency via a simulation of multi-threading, inspired by reactive processing. This approach permits very fast context switches and allows to express SC operators with regular, sequential C code. Thus a concurrent SC program requires neither a special compiler nor OS support for concurrency.
