I,ve installed the Compiler and I can,t get even the simplest code to compile properely.
Anyone know where the fix for this bug is?
Or is it a limit of the demonstration version?
void main(void) { cout << "Hello world!"; }
"Ok,
The general view from this forum is that C++ an the 8052 don't mix."
Filip,
Their real statement is somewhat more basic than that, but may not quite have gotten through. When you're programming for an "embedded" processor, various assumptions that are easy-to-make and almost guaranteed to be "correct" in a desktop environment cease to make any sense. Imagine this situation: Someone could have an 8052 based system that has all of the following:
1. A large LED bar sign that can scroll text 2. A small LCD display 3. A serial port
All of these bits of hardware could be considered the "console" referred to by cout. Which one is appropriate? Further, what code should be generated to control one of them when you use "cout <<"? These are the kinds of things that have to be considered in an embedded project.
I will make a prediction: If you buy the Ceibo package, it will have no idea how to compile "cout <<" unless you customize some library or at least tell it in detail what type of display and controller chip are attached to your board and where.
