I did not say that C++ could not be used, or even that C++ would not be appropriate. I said that C++ was /not/ used - C is is used. There are a great many reasons - some good, some bad - why C is used on small embedded systems. > Here in Germany there are much more Job offerings for embedded > -developers asking for C++ skills than for C skills only. That does not contradict me in any way. Companies are looking for new people with C++ skills, because - as I said - the use of C++ in embedded systems is /increasing/. They don't need new C programmers, because they already have C programmers.
