Re^6: Assembly language

Arduino IDE accepts only this C/C++ subset

Not true actually, although at times it seems the IDE tries to hide the fact that the tool chain is full on gcc. I use C++ including templates (although I've not used exceptions or RTTI) on Arduino Nanos and related 8 bit machines with 32 kBytes of code space and a couple of kBytes of RAM.

I find the Setup() / Loop() structure of sketches a real PITA a lot of times because it forces the use of global variables when they should really not be needed. However full points to Arduino for using a real language for a simple cheap teaching machine.

Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond

Ah, you are right. My last Arduino project is about ten years ago when i helped my son with his high school graduation 🤪 Thanks and best regards, Karl ŤThe Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostropheť `perl -MCrypt::CBC -E 'say Crypt::CBC->new(-key=>'kgb',-cipher=>"Blowfish")->decrypt_hex($ENV{KARL});'`Help	[reply] [d/l]
