Blog Lik: https://embedthreads.com/debunking-common-myths-about-c-in-embedded-systems-part1
Embedded systems power our daily technologies, from household appliances to smartphones. While C has been the traditional choice, C++ is gaining momentum. Dispelling myths:
– C++ isn’t slower; optimized code matches C.
– C++ doesn’t produce bloated code; modern compilers are efficient.
– C++ objects aren’t inherently large; thoughtful design ensures memory efficiency.
– Virtual functions aren’t slow; minimal overhead outweighed by benefits.
– C++ is ROMable; with proper configuration, code can reside in ROM.
– Class libraries don’t necessarily lead to large binaries; selective inclusion and optimization are key.
– Abstraction in C++ doesn’t compromise efficiency; well-designed code enhances maintainability.
