Effective C++ in an Embedded Environment

Book Description
C++'s flexibility, modelling power, support for object-oriented and generic programming, and extensive tool set, make it attractive for embedded projects, but some developers worry about code bloat and hidden performance penalties. This seminar begins by confronting those issues directly, then moves on to demonstrate how C++ can improve the correctness, readability, and efficiency of embedded software, in some cases accomplishing what is literally impossible in C.

Participants will gain:

  • An understanding of how compilers implement virtually every part of the language.
  • Knowledge of how to avoid code bloat from templates, exceptions, and other language features.
  • Familiarity with how to use C++ with ROM, memory-mapped IO, ISRs and signal handlers, and custom memory management schemes.
  • Examples of how C++ templates can provide powerful functionality difficult or impossible to implement in C.
  • An overview of issues related to the use of C++ in safety-critical and real-time systems.

Who should attend
Designers and developers who are using or considering using C++ in embedded systems. Attendees should be familiar with major C++ language features (e.g., classes, virtual functions, inheritance, and templates), but no expertise is required.
