There are many advantages C++ has over C, but what makes me especially happy is that dealing with strings is no longer a PITA  ;D

Are there many ARM coders on Nspire?

Sadly, not much. We had a few in the early days of the Nspire, but when we discovered we could use C, everyone switched to C. And Nspire programming almost completely died for a while after OS 3.0.2 came out and it took almost half a year before Ndless 3.x is possible. Now it's pretty much like the 68K scene back in 2007-09.

There is one that I can think of now right off the top of my head, and that is jacobly with his calcemu, which is written completely in ARM asm. Also, Calc84 wrote gbc4nspire in assembly.

Oh I didn't know Jacobly used ARM ASM. I know ExtendeD did and calc84maniac too, but I thought calc84maniac switched to C after gbc4nspire.

Hey Guys,

I'm very happy to see C++ support implemented in Ndless!  AFAIK with bFLT format handling it should be easier to create a game with external A.I. players.  Like a plugin.  So imagine playing Connect 4 (for example) and somebody creates a new A.I. player to play with and all you got to do is add the one new A.I. file.

ikj: I tested the "issues with global variables" and they are indeed solved!  See Test_Globals attachment.  C++ exceptions are disabled (see Test_Exceptions attachment); but we can create some amazing things without them!

Have a great day!

Meh. Exceptions are for pussies, you should catch the thing before an exception is thrown. :P

I saw on tangrs blog that exceptions don't work because of some unimplemented functions. What are these functions??

Exceptions do indeed have drawbacks. AFAIK, most secure / embedded C++ coding conventions ban them.

Hey Guys,

Indeed!  I compiled the very simple Text_Exceptions and with the throw,try&catch commented out and there is a size difference (see below).  Personally I'm perfectly fine without exceptions; but I could see if somebody using Boost or something would need to write around their issue.

Thanks and have a wonderful day!

Sorry, second post :(

For sure std::terminate.  I am under the impression that when an unhandled exception is called it would call that function.  I'd have to look up to know more.

Thanks!

Also, std::unexpected, I guess.
