C++ language

I wish mikroelektronika to design C++ compiler in addition to C. Microchip has done it. What do think guys?

Hi,

C++ sometimes is not the best solution for programming the microcontrollers (mostly due to overhead - in terms of memory requirements and in terms of execution time).

Our management evaluated the necessity for such development and investing so much energy into developing C++ compiler (at least for now) would really not produce as much results as it is needed.

Of course, as C++ have some advantages, we are always open for suggestions and comments and we might reconsider our current position and involve into producing C++ compiler.

Best regards,

Thanks Marina, you are very right it makes coding easier but at the expense of more memory use and more executing time with current most advanced mirocontrollers, i believe the microcontroller especially microchip will design microcontrollers with bigger memories and bigger clock speeds suitable for C++, i would like to have this c++ as part of the current mikroc as an option not as seperate compiler, it should be mikroc/c++.
