Searching a C++ compiler for the C167x family

Hi,
I'm an Italian engeneer and in my factory,
we use the C166 compiler on our boards equipped with the C167Cr microcontroller.
I'm interested to receive information about a C++ compiler because I'd like to introduce the object oriented programming model in our office.
If there is somebody who can tell me more about this, please do it.
Thanks,
Ing. Ciro Nappo

  • C++ can have quite a bit of overhead in code and memory to support objects, therefore C++ is normally not used on the smaller processors. Processors like the 80c51 and 80c166/7 are normally used in systems where response time is critical and normally there is not too much memory available. So that's why there is not too many C++ compilers available for these micros. I have seen C++ to C preprocessors which may be usful to do some avaluation. In short - when you write code for small processors, it is simple and to the point as there is not much time for fooling around!! Because of this, the code may not be as structured as computer scientists would like.
