Why are you still using C?

1. why do embedded developers choose C lenguages over C++?

   • sdg
   • the availability of tools for the embedded processor.
   • is C++ the same than C?
     • Keep on mind that when Bjarne Stroustrup developed C++, he designed it to continue to be useable as a low level programming language.
   • C++ has bad reputation
     • C++ is a big, complex and powerful language and the people that use it have the responsibility to program in a safely and effectively way, we have to remember that C++ does not cause bad programs, bad programming does it.
       • so, does C++ have something good?
         • In fact, C++ provides many features that may have a place in the embedded software: encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, exceptions, templates and the standard library.
         • well, Encapsulation is really good, but, what does it offer?
           • Encapsulation in C++ allows the software engineer to build serl-contained objects.
             • Encapsulation has it’s own cost. It is not generally regarded as high, but it des hace a cost.
               • . Each call to a member function has a hidden additional parameter, the pointer to the encapsulated data structure (a.k.a the ‘this’ pointer)
                 • The conclusion
                   • If you are really good at programming using C++, you could create better systems using this programming language instead of C and the cost less.
