C++ For Embedded Systems

C++ For Embedded System
Embedded systems have limited resources and are difficult to debug. We follow the Google C++ Style Guide with the following exceptions. If the source files are intended to be used in an application where the application

• runs on a processor without an MMU; or
• runs on on-chip memory; or
• needs to to be stored in on-chip memory; or
• cannot be simulated on PC

These following C++ features are not allowed;

• dynamic_cast because of performance overhead
• template because of memory overhead, allowed but use with caution
• exception handling
• STL because no implementation so far is fast and lean enough
