>>Only now embedded development is starting to accept C++
Well largely on RaspberryPi kind of platforms, which aren't even even embedded systems. More like miniaturized desktops.
Then there is just C and only C. C dominance there isn't going to be replaced anytime soon, if ever.
- pjmlp 9y agoDuring 2017, BMW among other car companies, and Sony have migrated from C to C++ as their main language for embedded development. https://archive.fosdem.org/2017/schedule/event/succes_failure_autonomous_driving/ https://archive.fosdem.org/2017/schedule/event/succes_failur... https://www.autosar.org/ https://www.autosar.org/ "Developing Audio Products with Cortex-M3/NuttX/C++11" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8fLjWyI5nI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8fLjWyI5nI Unless you consider their devices Raspberry Pi kind of platforms Of course with companies like Microchip still focusing on Assembly and C89, C is going to stay around for a very long time What is done in C and macros, can be safer done with C++ and constexpr templates and better optimized, problem is to change the culture of those companies.
- jcelerier 9y ago> Well largely on RaspberryPi kind of platforms, which aren't even even embedded systems no, for instance Arduino uses C++ as a main language. And an arduino pico has 2.5kb of ram... that's firmly in the "embedded" scale of things.
