    C++ output to C

    I write C in the embedded area; I don't know C++ but would like to use the language. Is there any C++ compiler that would generate ANSI C code that I could then compile with my compiler to produce code for my applications? I don't know of a C++ compiler for the Freescale (Motorola) microcontrollers but would like to know of one if it exists.

    I checked the posts but did not find this answer. So basically I am looking for a way to use C++ with the HC12 processor.

    Thank you

    Robert Lewis

    Or even GCC
    http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3....bmodel-Options

    Lists the "M68hc1x Options" as one of the supported processors.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Exclamation Just be careful!

    You need a good compiler/IDE with some good tools. With an embedded system, it's usually important to know exactly what's going on with the memory, stack, CPU registers, etc. Every embedded system has a different hardware configuration, so your development system should be specifically designed for embedded work.

    You are taking a risk if you use a compiler that's not approved by the microcontroller manufacturer. If your system has an operating system, the operating system provider is usually the best source for a compiler.
