Answer 2

Basically, there isn't one. Embedded refers to the hosting computer / microcontroller, not the language. The embeddded system might have fewer resources and interfaces for the programmer to play with, and hence C will be used differently, but it is still the same ISO defined language.

Answer 3

In the C standard, a standalone implementation doesn't have to provide all of the library functions that a hosted implementation has to provide. The C standard doesn't care about embedded, but vendors of embedded systems usually provide standalone implementations with whatever amount of libraries they're willing to provide.

Answer 4

Embedded environment, sometime, there is no MMU, less memory, less storage space. In C programming level, almost same, cross compiler do their job.
