Using UML for C programming

I'm developing an embedded software based on standard specification. The software is big and I need a design of my software before start coding. the UML is an object-oriented language and could be a solution but I don't know how to use it for C softwares.

are there any document which help to use UML for C programming ? or are there another design language for c softwares ?

Solution

  • Yes, you can, mostly because of two reasons:

    • You can actually do Object Oriented Programming with C (although it is tedious and not completely advisable), there a few books on the subject that you can read.
    • You can still use class diagrams to model data structures and static methods. But UML is not just about class diagrams: you also have state diagrams, interaction diagrams, use case diagrams... And they are useful for structured programming too.
