Hello everyone,
there'll be a new development release shortly. This will probably be
less stable than 0.1.6. I've been working on and integrating
contributions for many different features:
- automatic generation of API documentation with doxygen
- bugfixes
- math routines
- libc.a, libiberty.a
- compiler issues
- C++ support (with egcs-1.1.1)
Currently, I have a stub of less than 600 bytes (subtract symbols, and
we're probably at 300 bytes) that allows very basic usage of classes and
inheritance. Things that don't work include new/delete, the virtual
modifier and exceptions. All these functions seem to be strongly
intertwined with RTTI, thus take up an big amount of memory - too much
to suit firmdl.
I'm worried about compactness with C++ in general. The code generated by
this function is 76 bytes long:
void do_sensing_c() {
int i;
ds_active(&SENSOR_1);
for(i=0; i<100; i++) {
cputw(SENSOR_1);
lcd_refresh();
delay(20);
}
ds_passive(&SENSOR_1);
}
The exact same thing in C++ generates 232 bytes:
void do_sensing_cpp() {
Sensor s(Sensor::s1,1);
for(int i=0; i<100; i++) {
cputw(s.value());
lcd_refresh();
delay(20);
}
}
A factor of three. I'm not sure whether it's worth treading this path.
Markus.
