Embedded C developers shy away from C++ out of concern for performance. The class construct is one of their main concerns. My previous article Code Craft – Embedding C++: Classes explored whether ...

One can create a new (sub)class that inheriate properties of another class (base class), which allow the new (sub)class access/ call the functions that exist within the base class. C++ allows ...

Used when we want to call member function of derived class by a pointer of base class. In the above example if we wish that func of derived should be called then, we will have to mark the base ...

My memory on this is a little sketchy, but I think that when you make a call on a virtual function, the virtual function table must be consulted before method invocation, whereas non-virtual functions ...

An ideal C++ device driver would be a class containing, among other things, the ISR as a member function. But this is harder to achieve than many C programmers assume. One of the goals of a recent ...

From our study of C++, it should be clear that, unlike class encapsulation and single inheritance, which were essentially free in C, polymorphism in C involves some complexity and overhead. In the ...
