More Info On Why This Was Abandoned? (from a C++ on embedded systems perspective) #7

Closed gbmhunter closed 7 years ago

gbmhunter commented 7 years ago

@yuriykulikov after revisiting this repo to see it has been abandoned, I am interested to know more details on why C++ did not end up being suitable. I have used C++ on embedded systems before and are looking to do so again, but are looking for valuable input into the disadvantages/risks of doing so.

Hi, I have experienced some issues with compilers for avr chips and in the end I have ended up programming simple OOP in C. I have barely used any c++ features anyway. It was 5 years ago and perhaps things have changed in the compiler department. Besides, currently nobody cares about avr because there are lots of cheap and great arm chips out there:-) if you feel like it, you should totally give it a try. Br, Yuriy

O.K. thanks for the feedback. Yes ARM seems to be everywhere these days :-) Good to hear that the abandonment was not because of some major, generic issue w.r.t running C++ on an embedded system.
