Hello everyone,
I have a serious question. I'm currently working on a project using the STM32H755ZI board. Even though I set the project language to C++ and rename main.c to main.cpp, whenever I make any changes in the .ioc file, STM32CubeIDE automatically regenerates a new main.c file.
In other words, CubeIDE forces me to work in C.
To get around this, I followed a pretty comprehensive tutorial on how to use C++ indirectly with STM32 and the HAL, which you can find here:
:link: https://barenakedembedded.com/how-to-use-cpp-with-stm32-hal/
It's very helpful, but also a bit tedious.
Now here's my doubt:
I'm an undergraduate student, and I would really like to understand why STM boards (and even boards from other manufacturers) seem to push so hard for C instead of C++.
Is there a technical or historical reason why C is still the standard in embedded systems, even for modern projects?
Thanks in advance for any insights!
