- pjmlp 9y agoI never used IAR, given my focus on writing safe software I try to be up to date to these areas, and ways to somehow write secure software in C and C++. like MISRA and Frama-C. Maybe someone else can jump in. However, I can tell you that in general proprietary compilers for embedded devices make Visual C++ feel state of the art, let alone when compared with gcc or clang. Many of them are stuck in partial support for C99 or C++98 (e.g. TI), with no clear roadmap of future improvements.
