Arduino using GNU C++

Projects Programming

It is well said "basically". I happens I know many C++ compilers througout including GNU over last 20 years. This one here is very stripped version that is used for Arduino and I already checked its surprizing limitations to versions from early '90... or bugs in GNU compiler.

I can understand need for simplicity and that is fine, but we are talking here rather C (as opposed to C++) and even with that stripped from some elements that were offered for slower CPUs like microcontrollers.

Anyway I hope that everybody has fun with programming, but do not expect to sqeeze actual abilities of this very fine microcontroller to its actual limits by using C or C++ :smiley:

Did you have a question? Or just unrealistic expectations?

If you think the Arduino compiler is not a C++ compiler, you are mistaken. As for the rest of your post, I have no idea what you are trying to say but there don't seem to be any questions in it. If you just wanted to rant about what an old compiler Arduino is using, thanks for letting us know.

It is not a strip'd down version: it is an older but full version.
