Embedded systems, for example.

• teraflop 1y ago
  I know it used to be, but is it really still common for embedded systems to use weird architectures that G++/Clang don't support?
  • adastra22 1y ago
    Unless it is a popular system or common architecture, yes.

      Could you show me an example of a micro controller still supported today which doesn't have a C++ compiler?
      • foldr 1y ago
        The 8051. I think C++ compilers technically exist for it, but for most hardware the only practical choice is the Keil C51 compiler, which is C89.

        That isn’t a contradiction.

  Only very weird ones that barely support C like PIC, most ones support at least C++98 or C++11.
