The Quest for Embedded C++

There are many problems with C++ and the embedded community which mean they don't get along so well. Here are some resources that might help explain the problems and their solutions.

The Problem

• 🎥 C++Now 2018: Michael Caisse “Modern C++ in Embedded Systems”
• 🎥 CppCon 2016: Dan Saks “extern c: Talking to C Programmers about C++” - Really great talk about embedded mindset
• 🎥 ACCU2018: Valentin Galea The Badlands of C++: Professional Game Development - Game developers feel your pain!
