**Title**: Embedded Programming Death Match: C vs. C++\\
**Proposer**: [[2015:Dan Saks]]\\
**Type**: Case Study\\
**Duration**: 90 mins\\
**Description**: \\
C offers various ways to represent and manipulate hardware
devices.  C++ offers additional object-oriented techniques that provide
higher levels of abstraction.  Many C programmers assert that using C++
objects for hardware accesses is too costly, yet they can offer no
measurements to back that claim.  This session explains how to actually
measure such claims.  It also presents results from some measurements that
show, at least for ARM processors, that some widely-used C techniques are
actually slower than straightforward C++ techniques.\\
