That's more a matter of experience and attitude -- even simple things like reference types are nice. Also, templates offer a lot of abstraction power that can be used to model the hardware nicely, without sacrificing efficiency.
Many embedded programmers come from a background that doesn't expose them to those sorts of ideas though.
- carlmr 9y agoCan confirm, C++ has some nice features which I'd even like without malloc. OTOH I'm already horrified at the code quality problems pretty much every embedded shop faces. C++ would only make this matter worse. As a software inclined embedded guy I also often think of what would be possible if we switched to C++. But then I think of what's probable.
