Using c++ with ceibo

Memory allocation on the C51 is difficult at best. With constructor/destructors allocations, aren't you asking for more problems than gains from using C++?


Construction/destruction of objects does not necessarily require any dynamic memory allocation. It's up to the programmer. Constructing might be initialization, or it might be allocation from a fixed table of entries with no heap involved. In any language, you have to make your your objects (records/structs/table entries/variables) are initialized before they're used.

"C++" is a language, not a style or method of programming. It's perfectly possible to use C++ to write 8051 code, at least if you had a good 8051 C++ compiler. You might well want to avoid any number of implemention techniques or designs due to architectural limitations of the microcontroller. But then, that statement is true of programming in C, or even in assembler.
