Embedded Programming with Modern C++  is highly valuable for each professional programmer.

In the past, embedded and system programming have had their pitfalls, but modern C++ has been designed to be a better language for this type of development, addressing the previous pitfalls/requirements explicitly. What are these requirements? Embedded systems deal with safety-critical systems, meaning they must guarantee high performance combined with limited resources, while also working in parallel.

The scope of this course goes beyond just embedded programming. Developers who write servers, games, or trading systems may especially benefit from this course because they also have to deal with safety-critical systems, high performance, reduced resources, and parallel execution in their jobs.

To get the most out of the course, you only need a basic understanding of C++. Building off this understanding, this course goes over all the essentials of embedded programming with Modern C++.

Let's get started!

Embedded Programming with Modern C++

The Working Group WG 21 published the [ISO/IEC TR 18015](http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/TR18015.pdf), a document that is the ultimate source on the performance numbers of the C++ features. The document expresses its concerns directly.

* To give the reader a model of time and space overheads implied by use of various C++ language and library features,
* To debunk widespread myths about performance problems,
* To present techniques for use of C++ in performance applications, and
* To present techniques for implementing C++ Standard language and library facilities to yield efficient code.

The paper documents the work of experts like Dave Abrahams, Howard Hinnand, Dietmar Kühl, Dan Saks, Bill Seymour, Bjarne Stroustrup, and Detlef Vollmann.

 

In this lesson, we will discuss the C++ features, their overhead, and usage in light of Technical Report on C++ Performance.
