Running C++ TEMPLATE code on ti hardware

studinstru sggs

I want to make my code generic and want to run on  ti hardware  (any family)

I want to use template to change the data type of input array like uint8 or uint 32 or uint16 .

But I read somewhere that template is not good option on hardware .

One reason I know that, I have to write SIMD for each data type .

Is there any other reason behind "NOT TO WRITE TEMPLATE IN EMBEDDED CODE"

    If you're careful about how you write the template classes, there should be no overhead to using templates. It's not really fair to blame templates themselves. Writing efficient C++ code is beyond the scope of this forum, but there are good books on the topic.
    What you really want to watch out for are the object-oriented features like polymorphism (virtual methods), which can add a pretty high overhead.
