Hello developers,
I'm experimenting with contenLister and thinking about using C++ for some parts. Biggest advantage are:
- easier (and cleaner) initialisation of structs (constructors)
- better grouping of structs and corresponding functions
- constants instead of defines
- easier memory management (cleanup in destructors)
Here is my current opinion
- use C++ for future development: yes, but just simple stuff (no complex class hierarchies etc)
- use C++ strings: maybe (if runtime c++ libs ar already on Iliad, and memory footprint of executables doesn't grow to much
- use STL (vectors, linked lists...) probably not (I expect big memory usage)
What do you think? I think this is an important choice... probably needs some thinking and experimenting
Happy hacking,
