Looking for books about C++ embedded programming

C++ embedded programming

I use C to develop hardware driver for a long time, I used to think C++ is not efficient to develop low level driver, but recently I found that by using C++ to develop driver is very good and interesting, anybody can recommend some C++ application notes or book on C++ embedded programming?? thanks

Hi Speedoak,

Try to get from here:

C++ embedded programming

this book introduces a chapter about
Making our C programs "look like" C++

C++ embedded programming

in general, c is a good choice for embedded programming. it is very easy to implement the interface between hardware and software.

Hi

Have you a tutorial for learn to use CCS PIC C compiler??


Thank you

a few compilers support C++,
but i think C++ is to help you apply all the concepts of OOP (inheritance,etc..)
as long as you have quite enough RAM...

Salam,

CCS C is C compiler for PIC Microcontrollers.

Re: C++ embedded programming

I want to know from your experiences, which is more desirable in embedded C programming? Declaring variables as global variables OR using local variables in functions?

Sometimes i avoid creating functions with more than 1 parameter, because it seemed that the stack memory requirements increases. I also prefer using global variables then using local variables for the similar reason. Are my assumptions correct? Anyone has any suggestions for better C embedded programming?

salam,
irfan.

C++ embedded programming

using global variables means we always reserve certain amount of RAM for these variables.
So i suggest using least global variables as much as possible... usually only in the case of shared variables..

as you said that you avoid using function's with more than 1 parameter
that is good but what if you require a function with more than i parameter

also using global variable is not a good idea unless they are shared as they take memory for entire life of program at run time

use local variables
also declare local variables inside if() conditions so that only if actualy required are local variables declared and take space from heap

Added after 4 hours 30 minutes:

Use pointer efectively to improve the code
it improves the speed and is more compact

C++ may be not efficient from the point of code size.C is very suitble for mid level mcu's.I advice C...

also declare local variables inside if() conditions so that only if actualy required are local variables declared and take space from heap

can we do it? i think most C compilers ask us to declare variables at the beginning of the function..

The best method for variable declarations.

Hi,
as you know local static variables are invisible outside the prodecudure, globals are visible everywhere in whole program.
But in my oppinion, when you are declaring variables, you have to choice:

- "good school" looking
or
- "experience school"

The first you can found in each book - declare static variables inside procedues, like somone described in upper text.

The second solution is:
When you starts new embedded application, you should put all variables (globals and local static) in one header file.
Thats gives you opportunity to easy make application test, better than with static varibles hidden in procedures

When everything is tested, if you want, you can move all locall static variables declarations to proper places. I do so since 15 years and test time is strongly reduced.

Another metter is C++ on microcontrollers.
The compiled code size is the same like C.
The source code written in C++ is bigger than written in C for the same solution.
And programming is easier , thanks to C++ is higher level language than C.
If you don't belive - than try it ! To get your own oppinion.

Re: C++ embedded programming

A short document on firmware programming standard:
http://www.ganssle.com/misc/fsm.doc
by Jack Ganssle

in which he discourages the use of global variables especially when there are a lot of them leading to debugging problems..

All too often C and especially assembly programs have one huge
module with all of the variable definitions. Though it may seem
nice to organize variables in a common spot, the peril is these are
all then global in scope. Global variables are responsible for much
undebuggable code, reentrancy problems, global warming and male
pattern baldness. Avoid them!
Real time code may occasionally require a few - and only a few -
global variables to insure reasonable response to external events.
Every global variable must be approved by the project manager.
When globals are used, put all of them into a single module. They
are so problematic that it’s best to clearly identify the sin via the
name globals.c or globals.asm.
