Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling

Why C?

<< < (3/7) > >>

gnu:
Also not all compilers are available for Java or other programming languages, while C is supported by almost any compiler...

zajacattack:
OK, so I know Java is out of the question, but what is the problem with C++?

Febs:
I think Bagder already answered that question.

zajacattack:

Well, I was curious to whether there was an actual reason other than "not liking" C++.

dan_a:
C++ tends to result in large programs.  This is fine on a desktop computer with gigs of processor power, gigs of RAM and gigs of hard disk space, but is a problem on a battery powered DAP with a lot less power and capacity.
