  4. [ 1 ] What language are you using for embedded development today?

  5. C to C++ Migration • Three stage process: • exploit reusability • new code in C++ • link with C code • treat C as C++ • clean up C code to comply with C++ • start using C++ language features

  6. Apply Reusability • All new code in C++ • link with existing C modules • Problem with typesafe linkage • C++ function names and references manged fun(int) becomes fun_int(int) • C functions not mangled fun(int) unchanged • use extern "C" extern "C" { void funx(int); int fun(float); ... }

  7. Clean C • ANSI C is essentially a subset of C++ • Numerous minor exceptions • Clean C is true subset • code written or modified to accommodate exceptions • still ANSI C • specific points to address • Treat Clean C as if it were C++ • acceptable to C++ compiler • type-safe linkage OK

  8. Clean C • Function prototypes are mandatory • Implicit types casts are a problem • use explicit – like (char) • Enumerated types are taken “seriously” • Character arrays must have room for terminator char str[3] = "xyz"; is not acceptable char str[] = "xyz"; is better

  9. Clean C Nested structures need care C: struct out { struct in { int i; } m; int j; }; struct in inner; struct out outer; Clean C: struct in { int i; }; struct out { struct in m; int j; }; struct in inner; struct out outer;
