Title: C++ for Very Small Embedded Systems
Proposer: detlef_vollman
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.
