Embedded C++
Encyclopedia : E : EM : EMB : Embedded C++
To address the shortcomings of C++ for embedded applications, an industry group led by major Japanese CPU manufacturers, including NEC, Hitachi, Fujitsu, and Toshiba, has set out to define a new dialect of C++ called EC++. The goal of the effort is to preserve the most useful object-oriented features of the C++ language yet minimize code size while maximizing execution efficiency and making compiler construction simpler.
Embedded C++ is a proper subset of C++, i.e. it has no additions. The following language features have been removed :-
- Multiple inheritance
- Virtual base classes
- Run-time type information (typeid)
- New style casts (static_cast, dynamic_cast, reinterpret_cast and const_cast)
- The mutable type qualifier
- Namespaces
- Exceptions
- Templates
