XC8 PIC C++

[Jon Wilder]

Hi all.

With XC8's C++ capability, anyone ever try doing their PIC code in C++? Pros? Cons?

I wasn't aware it had any such capability? - it's only XC32 that includes C++

Yeah, it's just the GCC-based ones that can use C++ (XC16, XC32), and XC8 is C only.

You can do it through the arduino platform ( pic18's only ) if you feel the need.

I wasn't aware of that. Any links to more info?

Nope not really.... I think I've crossed some wires.... I was thinking of the Amicus18 arduino.
But my brain was saying Fubrino ??? The pinguino IDE looks and feels like the adruino but it is just C and not C++ Sorry for getting your hopes up..
When you look at the Amicus18 you will see what I mean..

The Pinguino supposedly supports C++ on the 18F devices it supports - but as there's no Windows version, then I can't try it.

Obviously you can use the ChipKit Arduino settings if you have a suitable PIC32.

Of course you can.... I have it on windows ( earlier version ), It used to run on all three... Even then you can use virtualbox and run linux mint or something.

There doesn't seem to be any current Windows version to download?.

Like I said... I run linux mint ( x64) in a virtual box... It takes moments to install.. Virtualbox is free.

I've just got back from Dicky Tickers exercise class - and I've set Linux Mint downloading, so I'll give it a try.
