Re: eCos and C++
What I meant in developing C++ application, is not to use the eCos C++
API, but ISO C++ code: iostream ....
for example: can I compile and run the following code:
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello World" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
Thanks,
Ilan

The core of eCos is C++ classes. C stub functions have been added for use in
basic C code. So you could make an application in C++. However it has been
suggested that you should use the 'c' based kernel calls instead of the cpp
classes directly. I cannot remember why, I did try to find the thread on the
mailing list but it is not easy to search for the keyword "c++".
Only the C API is documented and guaranteed to not change. The
internal C++ API is not documented and at times has changed in ways
that can break compatibility.
Some people do use the C++ API, but with the understanding that things
could break at any time.
