A lot of research has been done to prove that the contention that C
code is more efficient and more compact than equivalent C++ code is a
myth. My posting pertains to a slightly different aspect of this
debate. Here are my two questions:
1) Does anyone have any information on comparison of C and C++
software written for the ARM processor?
2) Are there any compiler and CPU dependencies that have to be
factored in while debating this issue? Or, is the issue more or less
settled for all compilers and all CPUs?
Thanks,

I'll take your word for it.

No. There is no point in debating this "issue" whatsoever. I am
sure that among my brethren in 'comp.lang.c' there will be somebody
with a different opinion, of course.

settled for all compilers and all CPUs?
http://www.research.att.com/~bs/bs_faq.html#C-is-better Do you see
any mention of a platform or CPU?

One can write piss poor inefficient code in either language, or one can
write elegant efficient code in either. Programmers write code, not
compilers, so there isn't anything to study or discuss.

These days with 3ghz computers with more than 1 gbyte RAM what is so
important about elegant, efficient code?

As our computers get more powerful, the problems we try to solve with
them get more difficult. If you have a program which takes 10 days to
run on a 3-GHz machine with 1GB RAM, an algorithm change that causes a
speed-up by a factor of 2 is going to look pretty sweet.
Truly elegant code is easier to understand and maintain; with
programmer time costing so much more than CPU time, elegance is
getting steadily more important, not less.

Platform or C++ specific questions, are off-topic in c.l.c

Hey, that's great! Where can I pick up one of these 3ghz 1GB RAM
computers? I need it to be about 3 cm by 3 cm all in, drawing no more
than one amp of current and using about 10W of power, with a JTAG port
on board.
What's that, you say? There's no such thing? Well then, I guess I'll
have to use whatever I can get in that size, current and power
limitations and just do some damned elegant coding to get it to do what
I need.

Even in desktop's PCs that philosophy is utterly WRONG and leads to
software that takes gigabytes to do the simplest thing. Of course if you
have 2GB or 4GB of memory it doesn't matter... UNTIL YOU WANT TO RUN
A DOZEN OF THOSE!

Yes, but typically embedded processors do jobs which are utterly trivial.

Hi guys
I have a time critical process, running on a worker thread. By "time
critical", I mean that certain parts of the process must be completed in a
specific time frame. The time when the process starts is not especially
important, but it must be complete within a small number of seconds.
The operations I am performing do not take a long time (hundreds of
milliseconds), but as each part of the process is complete, my worker thread...

Might be off topic but I don't know where to post this question.Hope
some body clears my doubt.
The coding standard of the project which I am working on say's not to
use malloc.When I asked my lead(I have just started working) he said we
should not use dynamic allocation in real time systems, the code will
not run in predictable time period.Can anybody tell what does he
mean?Why the execution time becomes unpredictable?
Thanks

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
