Hi what microcontroller programs in C++ I wanted to know for a teacher who wanted to program chips...

Any series will work as long as C++ works best for it...

Thanks

 

C++ is not suited for microcontrollers as it is too abstract and bloaty. But C is pretty popular.

For microcontrollers memory is at a premium. Though correctness is valued and C++ helps with correctness, if it doesn't fit, it doesn't work. Even C can produce bloated code, but there's less waste when you try to reduce memory consumption by sharing as much as you can. That is, forget protection, forget object orientation... do it right the manual way, and make it small.

If you're dealing with embedded computers, then there's a lot more memory to work with, and hence c++ may be a proper solution.

(I've never tried writing a C++ program for AVR with g++, it's possible that it would work perfectly fine, though...)

 

If you're using PIC Microcontroller, I would suggest HiTec PIC C. It'll make programming much easier once you get used to the program. You can down load student version (or PICCLITE) from HiTec site. You can do some serious programming even with student version. It works best with MPLab, also can be down loaded from Microchip.

 

Not just the size of the memory, the complexity of the stack possible on a microcontroller does not jive with the way C++ destroys objects to reclaim memory. Even some C features like a pointer to a function don't jive with a microcontroller's capabilities, although the complier will still let you do it it may be inefficient.
