Title: C++ for Very Small Embedded Systems
Proposer: detlef_vollmann
Type: Tutorial
Duration: 90 minutes
Description:
Many embedded systems today have more computing power and memory
available than a typical workstation 10 years ago.
On such systems, C++ is the main programming language.
But there are still systems that have only a few kilo-bytes of
memory for the program text and its data.
For such systems many developers still believe that C++ doesn't work
and you have to resort to assembler or maybe C.
This talk will show how C++ can be useful in such very small systems
and programming techniques how to keep the overhead of C++ on such systems
(over C) at essentially zero.
Intended audience:
This talk is for embedded programmers who are tired to hear that C++
is not for them, or who actually believe this themselves.
