C++ for embedded chip

[dangoren]

Hi,

I am considering using C++ for the development of a hardcore embedded wireless chip? The CPU will probably be Cortex M3.

Does anyone have some insight as to the pros & cons, benefits, risks...

Thanks

I think C is enough for Embedded Systems.

I think so

For Cortex M3, C++ may be as good as C. Use it if you are familiar with C++.
The key point is if the compiler could produce a good machine code.
The architecture of Cortex M3 is adapted to use the high-level programming
language.

I recommend using only C, but you can use C++ if performance is not very important.

Many times the pure performance is not the most important, so for this cases the C++ is better to work with.

Anyone knows a good C++ compilor for this processor?
