[comp.lang.c++] Is anyone using C++ to develop embedded code?

I'm curious, is anyone using C++ to develop embedded code?  (I'm thinking in
terms of a 80186 or a 68302, not a 5ESS switch running UNIX :-)  If so what
hints and kinks can you pass on.  I expect that using streamio is out of the
question.  What problems have you run into ROMing your code?  What tools are
you using.

Zortech C++ comes with source to some sample replacements for the runtime
library functions which make it easier to get started developing a ROM
application. Things like a replacement for the startup code.

There's a ROM locator which can convert EXE files to Intel Hex available
free on the Zortech BBS (206) 822-6907. This should be all you need to
get started.
