Program Sections A program section is a contiguous chunk of memory with a symbolic name. For historical reasons, the main program sections are named: .text (dot-text) for the code in ROM, .bss for ...

From our study of C++, it should be clear that, unlike class encapsulation and single inheritance, which were essentially free in C, polymorphism in C involves some complexity and overhead. In the ...

Rust is a promising replacement for C and C++, particularly for systems-level programming, infrastructure projects, embedded software development, and more -- but not everywhere and not in all ...

Most embedded programming is done in C and C++. Many languages are used for embedded applications, from Java to Lua, but C dominates. C’s popularity is no surprise.

In a survey, Embedded Systems Programming found 90 percent of subscribers used C in their work, 45 percent used C++ and 10 percent used Java (some programmers work with multiple languages).

C++ covers the whole programming range, from low level to high, making it ideally suited for writing portable software. Code portability is often neglected in embedded-systems engineering, however.

The paper from Stroustrup and his peers talks up the use of C++ in safety critical domains, such as embedded, medical, aerospace, and avionics. They acknowledge there's "increased demands for more ...

“C++ is heavily used in embedded systems, game development and financial trading software, just to name a few domains,” Jansen wrote. C++ was first released in 1985 as an extension of C.
