C++ Embedded Systems

C++ and the object paradigm are seeing an increasingly important role in embedded systems development. Embedded systems have needs very different from those of data processing systems, or interactive computer-aided engineering environments. Many embedded computer systems are real-time, reactive, fault-tolerant complexes comprising millions of lines of code. Most telecommunications systems are embedded systems. Object abstraction techniques are thought to be well-suited to addressing the complexity of telecommunications system development and evolution... Most claims for success of the object paradigm relate to its power to express system structure, or architecture. Many aspect of telecommunications software lend themselves well to expression in objects and other C++ constructs.
