C++ For Embedded Developers (Beginning of 2023)

• 3 days

Goal

Give an idea how an experienced C programmer can benefit from the C++ toolcase. The following aspects are covered, accompanied with many exercises.

• C++ is an object oriented language. That term alone has many facets, and a solid understanding of each is given. Constructors, destructors, automatic pointer/base-class conversion, late binding (“abstract”?), and all that.

• C++ also brings a rich toolset in form of its standard library. After a short conceptual introduction, containers and algorithms are something that is immediately useful for non-OO programmers.

• C++ does not stop there; starting from its 2011 definition, the language has undergone a major revolution. An overview is given.

Object Oriented Programming

• From Inheritance And Object Oriented Design

  • Inheritance Basics

  • Inheritance: private, protected (Implementation Inheritance)

  • Virtual Methods

  • Polymorphic Usage Of Objects

  • Destructors And Inheritance

  • Virtual Destructors

  • Interfaces

Standard Template Library

• Pointer Arithmetic Recap: Pointers and Arrays

• Standard Template Library: Basics

• Basic Algorithms

  • for_each<>

  • copy<>

  • reverse<>: Reversing In-Place

  • reverse_copy<>: Copying and Reversing

  • find<>: Sequential Search, by Equality

  • find_if<>: Sequential Search, Customizable

• Sorted Array Algorithms

  • sort<>

  • binary_search<>: On Sorted Sequence

  • lower_bound<>: On Sorted Sequence

• Sequential Containers

  • Sequential Containers

  • vector<>

  • list<>

• Associative Containers

  • Associative Containers

  • map<>

  • multimap<>

Exercise Series

Exercise series ideas …

• Sensors

  • A sensor abstract base class - an interface

  • A number of concrete sensor implementations

  • A configured set of those, measuring live data

  • Live data is posted via another interface

• Display(s)

  • Another interface in the system

  • Display measurement values

  • Concrete implementation: a software PWM using a timer and a GPIO

C++11 Outlook

• Language features (from New Language Features)

  • constexpr

  • Range Based for Loops: Introduction

  • Case Study: Range Based for On std::map

  • Strongly Typed enum

  • Structured Binding

  • auto
