i've just got informed that my talk from this year's (pardon – last year's ;)) Code::Dive conference is now available online – C++ vs C the embedded perspective. here's the abstract:
C is commonly “known to be the best choice for embedded”. Many embedded developers consider C++ to be generally slower and generating larger binaries… but is it really so? During the presentation series of case studies will be presented and measured in order to check out how things really are.
Knowing how tools work allows to understand our software better. Even though presentation is focused on embedded software, most of the gained knowledge can be applied to desktop development equally well.
Target audience are C and C++ developers. In-depth knowledge of embedded development is not required to understand the content.
have fun! :)
