  • RX600 C++ with embOS

    The RX600 HEW IDE supports a C++ capable compiler. I would like to use C++ for some simple C++ objects. Nothing major like design patterns, but I can use some concepts.

    I'll probably configure the app with no std_exceptions and no stream IO (it looked a bit code heavy in my initial test)

    The question is, can I use embOS seamlessly in a C++ build environment, or will I have to provide wrappers for everything?

    Will I need a source distribution or just a binary?

  • Hello,

    you can use embOS of course with C++, you don't need the source code version, the object version is enough.

    If you like you can download the embOS RX HEW trial version from our website. It has no functional limitation, so you could test by yourself that it works with C++.

    If you have any further question you are invited to contact us directly.

    Regards,
    Til

  • Several issues

    I tried to create a C++ project with a resetprg.cpp and the system crashes so I reverted to the "C" version and added the C++ initializer call. Global C++ object constructors are called via _CALL_INIT() in resetprg.c. This works ok, but it is not optimal. I would like to have classes inherit from a simple lock class but since global C++ objects are initialized before the RTOS, it fails. I tried moving OS_InitKern() and the other startups into PowerOn_Reset_PC() but there are obviously stack issues as it crashes with ErrCode 0xA4.

    I finaly got it to work with this code in resetprg.c, but I am not sure if it is proper. I also am not sure about how one would write a C++ object which as a "extern C" thread function and how the thread would know about the objects "this" pointer. I assume that is the reason for OS_CREATETASKEX.

    I really need an example with YRDKRX62N C++ project. Simple blinky lights will do.

  • Ok, figured it out. I do need to know if the changes to resetprg.c are acceptable?
