C vs C++ and libraries

Hello WorkerBee,

If your question involves MSPM0 (G or L), then you are in the right place.  All the examples provided for the MSPM0 families are written in C because that is more widely used in embedded products than C++.  That doesn't mean you can't use C++.  In Fact, the TI ARM compiler supports both C and C++. There is certainly more overhead in C++ and it will consume more memory than C.  The MSPM0G350x family supports up to 128K of FLASH.  If you think you may need more than that, then perhaps consider using C.

Here is link to the user guide.  Check it out and see if you can get some of your questions answered.  If not, let me know.

can you please elaborate? how would i find how to include <vector> ?

Hi WorkerBee,

If you are referring to the ARM interrupt vectors, these are defined in the startup file in every MSPM0 driverlib example.  If you have downloaded the MSPM0 SDK, you will find these examples in:

C:\ti\mspm0_sdk_1_10_01_05\examples\nortos\LP_MSPM0G3507\driverlib

Have you tried any of this? It might be better to come with specific problems. One thing to note is that TI really wants the files to be extended .cpp and not c to force the C++ compiler to notice them.

STL: The C++ Standard Template Library (STL) - GeeksforGeeks

The Standard Template Library (STL) is a set of C++ template classes to provide common programming data structures and functions such as lists, stacks, arrays, etc. It is a library of container classes, algorithms, and iterators. It is a generalized library and so, its components are parameterized. 

Containers or container classes store objects and data. There are in total seven standards “first-class” container classes and three container adaptor classes and only seven header files that provide access to these containers or container adaptors.

• Sequence Containers: implement data structures that can be accessed in a sequential manner.
  • vector
  • list
  • deque
  • arrays
  • forward_list( Introduced in C++11)

the vector i was referring to is the one mentioned here, its basically a resizable array.

i'm used to having access to STL and this was just an example, figuring if you could tell me how to build with it, i'd be able to figure out other functions as well.

i tried adding #include <vector> but that didnt work for me, so was wondering what i was missing.

did you name your file with a .cpp extension?

you can close this, i'm not sure why it wasn't working before.
