#180476 - Not really the point, but...
Responding to: ???'s previous message

I like C++ but wouldn't use it on a low power CPU. The power of virtual method tables carries a price that is inappropriate for a small CPU.

As noted in the original post (and the thread to which it refers), the point here is not whether to use C++, but what tools are available if you should (for whatever strange reason) want to do so.

What's the most powerful 8051 device around (not just in terms of MIPs but RAM and FLASH)

I think the Big Issue with the 8051 architecture is not horsepower or total RAM size, but the miniscule stack size. And the (relatively) sparse support for indirection.

These are the major challenges for ANSI 'C' on the 8051 - adding the OO features of C++ compounds them!

         It's stack + indirection that makes C++ hard to use on 8051            01/01/70 00:00
