This kind of questions illustrates I think an interesting cunundrum.

The question itself suggests that the questioner does not have enough
experience with object oriented principles to be jumping into C++
on a tight schedule. (Hanasaki, please forgive me if this is incorrect,
I do realize that there may be other reasons than ignorance for you
asking this
question.)  C++ is a complex language I would not recommend any
one on a very tight schedule learn C++ and use it on an embedded
system project at the same time, unless that 1) they have a strong
embedded
system background, and 2) they were comfortable with obect techniques.
Or rather, I would recommend that you use C++ only as a better C in this

circumstance.

On the other hand, it is clearly the case that C++ is appropriate to
almost
every embedded project  given that the programmers understand what
they are doing.  I have seen, and I sure others have seen more than I,
cases
of PC based uses of C++ that would be a disaster on an embedded target.

BTW, C++ was created with embedded applications in mind, and I believe
some of its earliest applications were to embedded telephone switching
systems.

I guess what I would really recomend (and this is self serving:-) that
anyone
that feels that this is an appropriate question: that yes they should
use C++
and that they go out find a consultant that can show them how to use C++

rather try to go it alone.
