Hi.

I have followed some discussions about C++ deployment in embedded
systems and I learned there are several criticism on C++ itself and
its deployment in such systems. Someone mentioned he designs using OOD
but implements in C and Assembly, which would be my approach as well
(maybe because I started as hardware designer and tend to consider
hardware limitations when designing software :-) ). I work with people
that have software engineering formation though and they tend to use
every resource of C++ without concerns with performance in the
embedded realm, leaving eventual optimizations to the end of the
design which we know it's much more difficult and neither practical
nore echonomicaly wise. I don't think these folks would go back to C
even using OOD techniques so I'd like to get the best possible from
C++ advantages and avoid its drawbacks. I would appreciate if you
could comment on this and give hints on what to avoid when programming
for embedded systems in C++. Suggestions of books and links will be
very much appreciated as well.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Elder.
